I survived my first day home alone with
the kids! So proud. The morning was easy because Eve slept most
of the time and Lex was in a great mood. Afternoon was a bit
more challenging because she was awake and just wanted to be
held, and his fever came back a bit so he was cranky. He also
kept asking to go outside but the weather was so crappy I
couldn’t take them out. He even woke up from his nap and
announced that he wanted to go grocery shopping! I think he is
a bit stir-crazy… as am I. I’m going to attempt to get them
out of the house and to a playgroup tomorrow. Then my mom is
coming, so I get a reprieve for the rest of the week. Next week
I seriously have to go it alone :) Wish me luck!

Lex, thankfully, is all better today. His
fever seems to have broken early this morning. He woke up at
1am so I went in and took his temp (101.9) and gave him more
Tylenol. Then he sat in his bed and talked to himself for an
hour and a half!! Between him and Eve I was awake from midnight
to 2:30am. Time to hit the caffeine this morning! The weather
today is really awful, cold, windy, rainy. We have lots of tree
branches down again too. Hopefully the nice weather will be
back soon!

We had a slow day today. We made it out
grocery shopping in the morning, then just stories and TV for
the rest of the day. The weather was awful (started out cloudy,
moved to heavy rain/sleet, and ended in a wet, heavy snow
that’s still falling now). Lex also woke up with a fever that
worsened in the afternoon. When we took his temperature just
before lunch it was 102. Poor boy! So we spent the afternoon
cuddling and resting. He felt so bad he even resisted the
medicine, which normally he likes and frequently even asks
for… “want little bit medicine.” Hopefully he feels better in
the morning and hopefully Eve doesn’t catch what ever he’s
got!
