Strep...

ME has been sleeping a lot. Saturday night, she fell asleep at 7:45 and slept 12 hours. Yesterday, I walked into the living room and found her sound asleep. She seemed fine...she had the typical running nose and occasional cough. But last night before bed, she complained of a sore throat and then coughed most of the night. This morning said that she felt sick, her PJs were making her hot, she did not want to go to school, but back to bed...20 minutes later she was snoring in my bed! ME never confesses to being sick, loves school and the mention of a nap immediately causes her eyes to widen and her energy level to reach all time levels of awakeness! So, I knew that she was definately sick! I called the doctor and scheduled an appointment at 9:15...in 30 minutes! The only problem...ME was sound asleep. I knew she probably needed to go to the doctor, but who wants to spend the morning at the doctor with a sick 3 year old...even more, who wants to wake up their 3 year old to go to the doctor!?! Since time was ticking and I just wanted to get our morning adventure over with, I woke ME up and told her we were going to go get treats and movies for the day...which was not a lie...I just did not mention the word DOCTOR! Fortunately, this was our first time to go to the doctor here, so she had no clue what we were doing and was frankly to tired and grumpy to care. 15 minutes later, her vitals were taken and a stick was being shoved down her throat, before she could even protest. It was not until she was told that "the doctor would be in a minute" that her lip started to quiver and she began protest! She crawled up into my lap and said her stomach hurt...5 seconds later, I was covered in vomit! As our wait drew on, so did the whining and demands to "take me home!!!" Even though I really wanted to relax with a current magazine, I filled our time with stories and even sang to her to try to distract her. Finally, we were given a prescription and dismissed. I told her we could stop by Sonic and the Redbox, but she did not want to...I even begged, but she just kept saying, "I want to go home!" Since we needed an antibiotic ASAP, we stopped at Target...I love Target and I love any excuse to go there!!! We got her prescription and sushi :-) and headed home! The drive is a total of 4 minutes and when I turned off the car...I found ME sound asleep!

The fruit flavored antibiotics were not a hit and required a call to Granny to get the tears and whinning to stop and to give me a few minutes to change out of my vomit covered outfit.

I praise the Lord for Sushi, chocolate, the movie Bolt and Granny!!! Pray that ME gets better soon and that she keeps her germs to her sweet self!!!
Sushi is the next best thing to Sonic...Sonic serving Sushi...HEAVEN!!!
