July 10...

Today I was going about my normal business of getting ready for 3 boys. Well one boy's mom called and said he wasn't coming b/c he had a fever and just not himself. He's feeling better he might come a bit later, ok that's fine.

The other little boy(L) shows up at 7:30(way better mind you than 11:30 yesterday). So L and avery play and I then take them outside. Normally L is the first one in the pool(kiddie pool) but not today. I noticed he was fussy, but has been for a while now due to 4 teeth coming in. Around 10:30 I decide he just isn't himself so I go in to take his temp. Him mom requests a bum temp...yeah never done that before, but surprisingly it wasn't bad. He has a 103 temp, so I take it again just to be sure(i swear the themometers can be finicky, mine not his) he has his own...102.3. So I call his mom. She asks me 101 questions and finally says I'll call the dr and come and get him(the bottom line really was he needed to be picked up). Meanwhile he had fallen asleep.

She shows at 11, takes him to the dr. and calls me. At first I was thinking she is overreacting by taking him to the dr with a fever b/c it could just be from teeth. well..he has hand, foot, and mouth disease. He won't be back until monday. She says its just mild and just starting. So now i am PRAYING avery doesn't get it. I sprayed all the toys with bleach and luckily most were already clean upstairs so I didn't have to do them all.

The real bummer is that we were supposed to have a playdate with Amy and Gracie this weekend and now we can't. Amy is prego, and shouldn't be exposed and neither should Gracie. There is always something that happens and it just plan sucks!!

On top of it all...I realized today is my dad's bday. I always seem to forget exactly when it is and once I did, I cried. Not on the agenda...this will be his second bday that he isn't with us anymore and it still feels weird especially when I need somthing fixed around the house.
