Swine Mania!

It's been awhile since I've been able to post, but there's been good reason! Our household has experienced a double dose of the H1N1 virus -- and I'm going to the doc today. I SHOULDN'T have it, I've been on preventative Tamiflu. But, I'm illin'!

The girls did fine with it, albeit scary high temperatures. Grace topped out at 106.5and Maggie at 105. I've never seen a temperature as high as Grace's in a human! It was a stressful time at 5:30 in the morning! I stressed the doctor out as well by calling her at 5:30 a.m.!

Both had one bad day, and then the rest of the time they ran around like crazy during the day and got sick at night. So, I was chasing them constantly during daylight hours and up constantly all night checking fevers, giving meds. Is it any wonder that I'm snifflin' now?!

While we were quarantined, we did some fun stuff. We made several crafts, a favorite being stained glass jars made from tissue paper pieces. We played games, watched movies, practiced our letters and numbers, cooked, baked chocolate chip cookies. We even filmed our own 3 minute cooking show! I'm going to figure out how to put that up here for all to see! They made a pudding pie. It is very cute!

The girls returned to school today. I returned to work. Let's hope that's the only time our household experiences swine mania!!! At least I know the girls can't get it again ...
