adeline, now has this mystery high fever...i thought she was rather warm since saturday afternoon but then we all thought i was just so cold that her feeling warm was a fluke. not so. after lunch today i took her temp to get a 102.6. ugh. what is it from? & some people may think me totally heartless, but if she feels better in the morning, off to school she goes. really, amelia had this on & off again fever for 2 1/2 weeks, i can't not send her to school for 2 1/2 weeks for an illness the doctor won't even give us an antibiotic for (we saw the ped twice for amelia, still, no antibiotics given to us, even with her high fevers, another ugh).

i was really looking forward to sending her off to school happily tomorrow so i could continue my cleaning of the rooms (which includes a severe dusting of walls, baseboards, toys, blinds, etc). so far i've only done the girls' bedrooms. i know, this is severe. i'm getting a wee bit crazy cleaning here. but amelia helps out so well with her fake & barely wet rag, wiping the walls off with this huge grin on her face.

sorry for the rant. winter illnesses drive me bonkers.
