Still sick...

Miss Molly came down with whatever this is on Thursday night as well.  No puking for her, thank goodness.  Reagan and Molly both continue to feel miserable.  I took them both to the doctor today to make sure there was nothing more serious going on, and he did a strep culture.  No strep.  So, I guess that's a good thing.  We just have to wait it out.  

Jumping the Gun

Reagan's fever's back up.  I guess at least we got out for a bit and got the oil changed on the car and tires rotated.   

The lengths I will go to...

To avoid doing dishes....

Well, technically, there was more to it than that.  I was whipping up my most-mornings breakfast of soaked oatmeal with coconut oil, maple syrup, raisins, a little milk, and tahini(in lieu of peanut butter).  I usually put about a tablespoon of tahini in there, and that was about all that was left in the can.  When faced with the option of scraping it out, it seemed so much more efficient to just put the oatmeal in there.  I had to take a picture of it because it amused me.  Maybe I'll start saving tahini cans to use as bowls...hmmmm....;0)

Liam went to school today.  He is still yucky, but he seems to be feeling a lot better and hasn't had a fever in 24 hours.

Reagan also seems to be feeling better, though she is coughing now.  So, I'm taking the girls out to get an oil change for the van, something I intended to do on Monday.  Hopefully, we are back to a stretch of healthy for a bit...at least until the Chicken Pox hit.  And I do hope they hit.  Killian especially needs to get them over with.  I don't trust the shot.

Sickies

Look at these poor pathetic babies....

Reagan's puking now.  I think as a result of fever.  Whatever Liam has must be something new to us.  And, I just intentionally exposed the kids to chicken pox on Monday.  It's going to be a long month.

Liam

Liam is sick now.  Cough and headache yesterday, and fever last night.  Still fever this morning.  Looks like the same thing Killian and the girls had, but more than a week later?  Please, please, let's hope it's not something new.

I've been sewing!

I couldn't take it anymore--I needed to make something with the new machine.  So, Sunday, I pulled it out and cut up one of those coffee bean bags and made this little bag.  Perhaps it was folly for my first project to include the very thing that broke my last machine, but apparently, the desire to make something out of those bags is too great for me.  

Then, yesterday, I cut up a pair of Ben's old khaki's and turned them into a new library bag. Both projects were a lesson in remembering how to sew, but I think they came out OK.  I should probably mention that when I asked Ben if I could cut up his "khakis," he assumed I meant his tan/khaki-colored cargo pants, and he really did not want me to make a bag from his favorite old cargos.  I am sorry about that, Ben.

This morning, with most of a full bobbin of thread and a ready machine, I made quick repairs to two pairs of Ben's jeans and  2 diaper covers.  I need to do some other things, but it will require my changing the thread (Like that's such a huge job...but, obviously, I have other things I need to be doing too).
