no strep

last night Jenica hit 103.5...so I packed the kids up and took them to an instacare up in Riverton.  After an hour and a half neither of them tested positive for strep (a relief I guess), but poor Kaitlyn has a double ear infection.  So she's on ammoxicilan (sp?) now and both of them are still on advil because they both still have fevers.  Hopefully this ends soon!  I have been trying to catch up w/ some of the housework today, the house was a disaster, it happens when everyone is sick!  I feel ok, but I'm pretty tired today!  I tried to take a quick nap at like 3, but the kids refused to let me!  So I'm back up and need to finish up the kitchen and sweep/mop so I can start dinner!  

Fever

well, it's been a lazy sleepy day at home.  i woke up at 9, both girls in bed with us!  Their fevers seem to spike opposite of eachother.  Jenica was up to 103 at 6am, then it was back down to 98/99, then at noon is was up to 101.5...I gave her some more advil and she has been asleep since, not sure of her current temp, but she feels better.  Kaitlyn's has been pretty steady around 98 until she just woke up from a nap, she was up to 101.8!!  So  gave her some advil and she's chilling on the couch.  I could've taken them to the dr today, but I am trying to wait until tomorrow morning!  Here's a list of "hurt" complaints I have heard:  throat, head, tummy, ears (only from kiki), jeni has a runny nose, and they both have bad coughs and high temps.  

I made german pancakes from breakfast today, and then around 11:30 I was beat and back in bed.  I felt guilty just going to sleep, so I read my scriptures for about 1/2 hour and then I went to sleep!  I decided it was a good time to get my daily pages done for completing the book of mormon in 97 days!  (see the Hinckley Challenge).

Nothing too exciting going on this week.  hopefully we will get to hook up with my mom at some point!  We have been trying to get together since before she went to California back mid January...but the weather has not cooperated.  Now she wants to come down to REI to get some stuff for her approaching Africa trip, and then we could meet up...but I have to tend Mon-Wed...and I don't know which of those days I still will because of sick kids (hers and mine).  I feel like I am rambling now!  Guess that means its time to go!  :)  Happy Sunday!

The sick bug found our house!

It is so hard to see these cute little girls sick!!  :(  This picture was taken on Thursday morning...sickness didn't show up until last night!  About the picture first...I was taking pictures of Jenica tying her shoes!  I didn't even teach her and she ties the most perfect bows.  Anyways, after I was done Kaitlyn ran over and said she wanted to be in the picture too!  Soo cute, even at 7:30 am! 

I am pretty sure we have strep!  When I say we, I mean kaitlyn and jenica.  The little girl I tend was at my house on Friday, and not for long.  Not even 2 hours.  Apparently that was long enough to pass it on.  I guess her and her sister were fine the night before, woke up a little sick on friday, her sister went home sick from school and then I took her home early so she could play with her sister.  I guess they got bad pretty quick, high fever, headache, etc.  Their mom took them to the dr and they both had instant + results to strep!

Both my girls are complaining of their throats and heads hurting.  And tummies.  Both his temps over 101 today!  We'll see how it goes tomorrow, I'm sure we will be staying home from church!  I am not feeling too hot myself!  Kaitlyn brought me the thermometer and shoved it in my mouth.  I had a little tiny fever, she could tell by the yellow light on it (it's green, yellow, or red depending on the temp).  She said "mom, you're sick...just like me"  It was really cute!

I would love to just curl up on the couch or in bed, but I have loads of groceries needing to be put away!  I came home and hauled it all inside, and then made dinner so I need to get it all put away still!  Which also means cleaning out the fridge, definitely the worst part...booo!!
