home, sick
the boo has been battling a raging temp since about 7 o’clock last night. she’s still herself, but she’s in massive cuddle mode. when i measured her temp last night around 1 o’clock in the morning, it was the highest i’ve ever seen it, 102.1. hubbin and i, well, and boo, have been really blessed that she’s gone almost two years without any serious illness. she’s had pink-eye (from day-care. and a special thanks to the parent who left it unchecked and kept bringing their kid in to daycare. the notice only went up after boo had it confirmed), and she’s had two ear infections.
but this fever, it seemed to come out of nowhere. hubbin took her to swimming class last night and he said she was fine. but i could tell the second they pulled up to the house and he took her out of the car that something wasn’t right. she’s a book, my boo, large print and easy to read. she’s get’s that from her mom.
so she’s home today, even thought it’s a day-care day. i have my mom writing class today and they are workshopping my piece, so i’d really like to go. thankfully, annie oakley is available to babysit and is practially bursting at the seams to come over and help. she’s such a mom. not mine, natch, but she’s got this universal momality to her that i just love.
it’s a pain having to change things today. i don’t want to say that i take her days at “school” for granted, but i do take full advantage of the time - the class, scheduling appointments, etc. i count on it, i guess. i’m totally able to adapt and change, but still, it’s a bummer that she’s sick.
