Oh, What a Night...

Late December, back in '63.

Okay, in all seriousness, it was quite a night.

Towards the end of the school day, I walked in Abby's room, took one look at her, and knew she was sick. She said she had a really bad headache.  I took her to my room and gave her some Tylenol.  I thought she felt warm, so we went up to the nurse and she took her temperature.  It was 103° F.  No school for Abby tomorrow.

As soon as school was out, I dropped the kids off at home.  I was there long enough to have Abby put on her pajamas and hop into bed.  I went to Walton to get my hair done.  As she was putting hair dye in my hair, the power went out.  She finished putting dye in my hair while using a flashlight.  After the timer went off, one of the other ladies held a flashlight so she could see to rinse my hair.  I will go back next week to get it cut and my eyebrows waxed.  What luck?!?!

After leaving, I went to the corner store down the road.  They still had power on that side of highway 35.  I got some deli (they have fresh) with my cold wet head.  Gas went from $2.91 to $3.25 there today.  I didn't get any in Delphi because I was in a hurry to get to Walton.  It was $2.99 in Delphi.  Let's hope it still is in the morning.  If not, I have to pay more.  That just added to my luck.

I came home.  We ate.  Abby was asleep, so I didn't wake her up.  She woke up about 7:30 and said she had a really bad headache.  She then ran to the bathroom.  The poor girl puked and heaved for 5 minutes.  After she calmed down, I gave her a little broth.  She ate/drank it and went right back to bed.  When I got up because Abby was puking, I found Zac asleep on a book he was reading.  I woke him up and he put himself to bed.  Both kids were in bed before 8:00 pm.  I wonder if Zac is coming down with it as well.

Now I'm sitting on the couch with my amazing husband!  We are watching a Christmas Hallmark movie.  He must love me to watch a chick flick with me!

It's 9:00 pm. and now I'm ready for bed!

Goodnight everyone!
