Back to School.... sort of

Hannah started back to school on Tuesday, I was the only sad one. I've enjoyed having her home & not having to wake kids up from naps & drag them out. She was excited to go & I was looking forward to getting back into a routine. That morning I crawled into bed with Hannah & asked if she was excited to see her friends, & asked which ones. She listed a few & then with a little giggle added Cesar to the list. (Cesar is this cute little boy in her class, & from the stories she tells he seems to have a little crush on her... and I think the feelings might be mutual.) She has told me before about the exchange of kisses & I tried to convince her that we don't need to kiss. We could give hugs, high fives & even "rocks." (Not sure if she bought it.)

After school she was telling me about her day & how fun it was to see everyone. She then told me that Cesar came up to her & said: "Kiss me girly!" Haha... What is up with this kid? She did inform me that she didn't kiss him.

Wednesday when I picked Hannah up from school she had a note informing me that school was canceled for the rest of the week. It isn't going to snow, it is just going to be REALLY cold. Even though I am glad I won't have to venture out in the cold weather, it is a little strange to cancel school because of cold temperatures. So the 4-day week quickly turned into a 2-day week. It really worked out considering I've had some back pain & Milo isn't feeling well, so we were able to take it easy.

Poor Milo has had a fever since Wednesday, & even with tylenol & motrin it continues to return. I noticed when he talked Thursday evening that his tonsils sounded swollen. I called the Dr. & they couldn't get him in until Monday, & I was told to keep up with what I'm doing & as long as his fever stays under 103. After his nap he didn't want to get out of bed, & his temp was 104.6. I called the Dr. again & was told to go straight to the ER. One look at the puss pockets on his swollen tonsils, no throat culture needed, & we were given an antibiotic & on our way. Hopefully we can kick this fever & he can get feeling better soon.

Jeff has been great to either spend the night on the couch with, or get up numerous times with Milo over the last 3 nights. I can't help but think how hard being a single parent would be, & I'm glad I'm not!! Glad the week is over & hopefully we can start over fresh & healthy on Monday.
