Nove is sick (virus), this is the second day she's stayed home from camp.

When her sister finally wakes up I may go to the store and buy some batteries.

And some lettuce so we can have BLT's for dinner tonight.

YESS Camp is having a special evening tonight, dinner provided,

and awards and entertainment by the kids.

I was really looking forward to doing that, but I guess I'll be fixing dinner instead.
The alarm would help you know the door was opened for sure, but I am thinking it may also help Nove remember she is not supposed to go out at night.

BLT's sound yummy! Now I am hungry...

Aha! Good way of explaining it to her. Thanks.

Yeah, the beefy rice I'm having for lunch isn't hitting the spot.

Y'know, the 'spot' that is waiting for a luscious BLT.

Guess we should stick with a virtual meal though.

You don't want to catch this horrid virus, eh?

Re: Don't Want to Do This Anymore

If your fibromyalgia prevents you from going to the store yourself, I bet you could order batteries from walmart.com or amazon -- combine it with some other shopping you need anyway so you don't pay shipping...

Thanks.

We live in a pretty small suburb.

Only half a mile one way to Kroger, only half a mile the other way to Dollar General.

Even in this heat, I can usually manage a quick trip.

I just didn't want to drag Nove out since she's sick, so was waiting for her sister to get up.

Guess what? Big sister's sick too. Summer cold virus, hoo boy!

Sounds like a good idea not to wait any longer on the batteries for the alarm.

So I guess I'd better get this shopping trip over with, eh?

Oh my goodness, poor baby! Nove's fever hasn't gone over 101 so far.

The PA did a throat culture, just in case. We have a big history of strep. Negative.

I couldn't think what to have with the BLTs until I saw the apples on the counter.

They've been there over a week, clearly the girls aren't going to just eat them.

So I bought a cucumber and some raisens and will make a salad with the apples.

Very light dressing, just a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of honey, plus cinnamon.

And I remembered to get the batteries for the alarm.

Now it's up to her mom to remember to set it after she lets the dogs out last thing before bed.

Re: Don't Want to Do This Anymore

Staple a reminder on her bedroom door...

And give all the sick kiddos out there hugs... I have been lucky... so far mine haven't got it... and they better not cause they are all supposed to be leaving next week and i'm only supposed to have the baby for 6 days!!!!

Enjoy your Dinner (although i think you probably already have... the joys of living on the west coast is that everybody else does everything before i do!!)

Um, I'm waiting for the plane ticket?

Can't leave till Friday as mommy is at work today and both girls are sick.

I'm soooooo going to need a break! Even if it's New Jersey...

But ... will they let me on the plane looking like this?

I did some yard work on Saturday - looked very carefully for "leaves of three".

Saw none.

But still have rash and swelling of face and eyes, fever and horrible itching.

Guess what? The internet says poison sumac doesn't grow in Kansas.

The internet LIES !

Wish I could afford a doctor visit and a script for prednisone.
