Today didn’t go so
great. I woke up with a pounding headache…went about my morning, hoping it
would get better as I got ready and got up and going. Really, it just got worse
thoughout the day. I was nauseous and just miserable…the horrible drive into
work didn’t bother me, the 10° weather actually felt kind of nice and my
pancake breakfast didn’t cheer me up…so, I definitely knew something was up. I
have so much to do though, so I tried to tough it out. UNTIL, I got a call from
my mother in law. Olivia wasn’t feeling well again. I guess she wouldn’t eat
anything, just laid around on the couch all morning, wouldn’t play or even
fight with Amelia (no matter how much Amelia egged her on). So, I decided to
call it a day around lunch time. I stopped to pick up some soup and medicine,
picked Olivia up and headed home. She still wouldn’t eat, so I gave her some
ibuprofen, put a cooling patch on her forehead and sent her off for a nap. I
finally ate some lunch, took some medicine and laid down myself. What a LONG
morning!
Olivia woke up
feeling much better. She was talkative and had some color back in her face. She
even asked to eat, so she finally had her soup and lot of water. I still wasn’t
feeling too hot…I scrounged up some leftovers for dinner and we hung out until
Christian and Amelia got home. Then, Olivia was raring to go…they were playing
and running around and fighting like nothing had happened. I folded some
laundry from this past weekend and just relaxed most of the night. I gave
Olivia another dose of ibuprofen and sent the girls off to bed…I ended up
keeping Olivia in bed with me just in case something spiked during the night,
but she slept through the night, no problem. So, it looks like another freak
24-hour thing. Poor girl. I guess that’s better than an endless illness like
she had last winter, so I guess I’ll take it.
Before bed, the
girls discovered Buddy had shown up in their room, curled around their
Christmas tree, showing off their new 2012 ornaments! YAY. So, here are some
pictures of Buddy Day 10: Year 2012:
