Sad Little Girl

After a rough night of sleep last night (for both Kaylen and Mommy) Kaylen awoke at 5:19am not feeling the least bit good. At 8:00, I was just returning to the living room with a cup of (much needed) coffee and I found this:




Oh yes - a sleeping girl in the middle of the floor. Sad. It became crystal clear that there would be no dress up games today - the ostrich feathers from her boa would not be scattered all over the house today. Instead there would be a doctor visit.

A friend offered oh so generously to take Kelton to the Indiana Jones event at our local library (something I had really wanted to take him to today and I had to admit, I was a little heartbroken that I missed out). Kelton had a fabulous time and brought back many great treasures from games galore. Meanwhile, while fun was being had by the boy, the little sick girl and I were here:




As a rule, I do not rush the kids to the doctors office for every little thing so you know this had to be something of the "uh oh. This is so not good." variety. And it's true, it's not great but it's something we will get through. Hopefully on the "sooner" side rather than the "later" side. It's going to be a long few days and nights though. Wish me luck! And if you wouldn't mind, send good thoughts that no one else develops it. *sigh*
