Sickie Saturday

Seems this icky virus has settled into my house...and the house of many of my friends (whom I miss bc we have not been able to get together bc of this ickiness!)  Bella has ran a low-grade fever since Wednesday afternoon.  It leaves then comes back...I guess it just can't make up it's mind whether to stay or go.  My wish is that it would just make up it's mind & leave for good!  My husband is sick too, although without a fever, just a lot of congestion, sneezing & coughing, which also equals snoring which equals sleepless nights for me.  I wake up in the middle of the night to find myself wedged between Bella & Mike...both snoring & both breathing their sickie germs on me!  Is it any wonder that I am not feeling all that great myself today?!


The challenge has been to keep Bella occupied since her playmates have been reduced to mommy, daddy, Dylan (big brother) & Gracie (our dog).  Yesterday we played barbies, cleaned her room, sorted through her toys & went to the movies to see Gnomeo & Juliette (SOOOO cute!).  Today was a bit more challenging since I wasn't feeling well myself!  Today we: painted each others nails, painted pictures together, 
baked & decorated cookies, 

made homemade banana bread

....and I made homemade chicken noodle soup, chicken salad

...ran to CVS to fully arm myself with disinfectant to get the icky germs out of here.  Lysol & Clorox are my new BFFs.  (I'll blog about the CVS trip tomorrow bc in the midst of trying to arm myself, I found some close out deals and I got a super surprise from P&G in the mail today which I used to score some amazing deals at CVS.  There I go again, getting off track.)  

It's now 9:22 & I find myself ready to brush my teeth & climb into bed (ALONE) & succumb to the icky sickieness that I feel hovering over me like a dark cloud.  I am thinking about the fact that I am teaching the 11:00 a.m. first grade Sunday school class tomorrow & thinking that sounds like a wonderful idea bc I am going to need all the sleep & energy I can muster to get through that tomorrow if I am feeling like I have today!
