Under the weather

The title for this entry definitely has a double meaning....

Caleb woke up early Tuesday with a fever and I decided to stay home with him all day. He was a perfectly happy, active little man the entire day, he just had a fever of 101°F for most of the day. He watched too much TV and I managed to find the living room floor again. By the time Scott got home last night, the kitchen, dining room and living room were much better than they had been in the morning. Not company ready, but definitely nothing I would be ashamed of if some one stopped by expectantly. Since Caleb still had the fever this morning, Scott is staying home with him. Hopefully he can get the vinyl floor mopped and then everything will be as clean as it gets these days.

Also, it has been raining here for almost 2 weeks and they are calling for rain for most of this week again. The grass is growing so fast that is was just cut on Saturday and needs to be cut again on Wednesday! The only problem is that it doesn't dry out long enough for us to cut it. The sun has been peaking out a little between rain storms the last two days, but it is soooooo muggy that you could drown just by taking a deep breath. It is grey enough that it reminds me of being in Houghton in the winter....although there isn't any snow.

Sounds like Mom and Dad are having an enjoyable journey west in the Mini. Mom did say that it is completely different being in the Mini all day with Dad than being in the Envoy with him. Of course, the Mini is 1/3 the size of the Envoy so that is understandable. :)

I have my neighborhood bunco group tonight. Should be fun and exciting....NOT. I have been a member of this group for almost 5 years now and it is really getting old. I have less and less in common with these women all the time. Most of them are SAHM's and have quite a bit of disdain for my CHOICE to work. I am probably reading too much into it, but I really dread going most months. If I could only think of a way to back out of it gracefully, I would.

Tonight is also Caleb's last swimming less for this session. We didn't go last week because my parents were here and there were just too many scheduling conflicts. And other than the fever, he has no symptoms of being sick. A dose of Tylenol will keep the fever in check long enough to let him have the last lesson, followed by a quick dinner and then I am off to bunco. Should make for a rather unproductive evening to say the least.
