-sickness-

i am home from work today! chloe had a rough night last night. she was coughing and all all day yesterday. 7 pm she falls asleep on the couch. so i picked her up, got her all ready for bed and we laid down in my room. i was asleep by 8! 8 o'clock was last nights goal, and it was met. BUT the joy did not last. 11 pm Chloe wakes up and is just hacking. her nose is running all over the place. (one my clever readers may be tempted at this point to ask if i caught it) the worst part though, her fever. holy crap. she wanted to cuddle up to me, but she was seriously so hot that her heat would make me sweat. so i gave her some medicine with fever reducer. 1 am, were still laying there awake. so i took her temp. 102. and that was after the fever reducer had kicked in.

by 3 am i realized she would not be going to daycare. and i realized i would not be going to work. its already a short week this week. i have 3 days to do 5 days worth of work. the timing of this couldnt be much worse. but thankfully, my uncle Rick is my back up driver and he was able to cover for me today. so...i will be ok. i just hope she is feeling better by tomorrow, or that someone else is willing to take her for the day.

chloes birthday went well. chritmas get togethers all went well. there are so many new toys around the house that its almost absurd. i wish i had Chloe's reaction to her new jeep on tape. it was so fun to watch. we wrapped the battery and when she opened it we told her that there must be a piece missing. she walked into the living room and saw the jeep and just froze up...she made some weird noises, smiled and got all excited. it was cute.

Ill probably add some pics to flickr too. ive got time. (i tried to add some pictures to flickr, but flickr is down. oh well. some other time i guess)

happy new year to all in case i dont get back on here before then!
