today

she wanted her hair to be "like a real ballerina".
i did my best.
she looked stunning.
no 4 year old should look so stunning!

it's cold.
and rainy.
i've been cold since monday.
i vacuumed just to warm up :-)
it's not supposed to let up for days!
which would be fine if we could just stay in our pj's and not leave the house.
but life goes on and bundling this crew up for the cold rain is no fun.
just saying.

and i'm a little worried.
nothing sounds good to me.
not candy.
not ice cream.
not chocolate!
i have no appetite.
i better not be getting sick.

bailey had a low-grade fever last night and this morning.
i took her in this morning to get tested for the flu
{the swine flu is ALL over rebekah and joshua's school...i hear of more cases every day}
i wanted to know if we were dealing with it as soon as possible.
but she tested negative.
most likely a reaction to ALL the shots she got on tuesday.
that's GOOD news!

oh, speaking of the dr.
not only was our tuesday visit fun.
we were in there again this morning for bailey (at 7:30 am...in the cold rain...with sawyer and joshua)
and we're headed back in a few minutes to get all of their tb tests read on their arms.
then headed to grocery shop.

really.
i just want to sit and read.
ok.
moving on.
i don't have time for fantasies.

this little girl was talking to her "people" a few minutes ago.
the conversation was really long...
they talked about pumpkins and ballet and books and sawyer being fussy and just needs mommy :-)

but this was one little part:
"so, do you have any crocs? any little ones? for kids? because we need some to give the kids."

made.my.day!

I am getting totally paranoid about the flu(s). I hate feeling this way. I am still making decisions about shots. Neither seem to be easily available. UGH!
I hope you are okay. Maybe the rain is making you too depressed for sweets. Not usually how it works, but who knows.
