Exhaustion...

I am so tired. I've been up since dark thirty a.m. Analese was scheduled for her first sleepover at her little best buddy "Tee-ta's" house last night. We took her over there around 6:00 and the kids all went swimming. After half an hour or so of swimming, Analese got out of the pool and told me she was VERY cold. She was shivering violently. I wrapped her in a towel and held her for a few minutes. As her hair dried I could tell that her skin was burning up. Yng Yng got out the thermometer and it read 102. So that was the end of the sleepover. We brought her home and she had fever all night long. I got her to the ped as early as I could this morning, and the diagnosis was strep throat and a UTI. The UTI did not surprise me. She has been complaining of her pee pee hurting, and we gave her lots of cranberry juice yesterday. The strep throat totally surprised me, though. She has not even complained of a sore throat! And usually if her throat is even a little sore, she lets us know because she likes cough drops. She did tell the PA that her throat was "a little bit sore." So Analese is sick and contagious and mommy is exhausted.

Now, here are some pics from a few days ago at dinnertime, since I very rarely blog without sharing pics. Mariele was having fun with her corn on the cob.




Now, both of my kids are sleeping. I know what I should be doing instead of blogging, so I am signing out now.
