A New Week

I am so glad to start a new week, as last week was a bit terrible. Alyssa ended up in the hospital on Tuesday morning and was admitted for dehydration, low blood sugar and a temp of 103. Luckily a night of fluids did the trick and she was able to come home on Wednesday. She ran the temp of 103 for 6 days until it finally went away. The doctors never found a source of the temp (even with a very unpleasant straight catheter in the ER and two other blood draws). They wrote it off as a bad viral infection and I am just grateful it wasn't something worse. She really was a trooper during her stay. It probably helped that she had her own TV, and a terribly long movie list to pick from.

So now we get to start a fresh week and really get ready for Christmas. She ended up being 7 days behind on her Christmas candy countdown so we are slowly catching that up. Aiden apparently didn't want to wait as one day he broke into the Christmas Day one and ate all the M & M's inside...oh, if you could have seen the smirk on his face when he got busted :)

So just a few more loose ends to tie up with shopping (I know, we are ALWAYS done before Thanksgiving), Aiden and I plan to finish that up tomorrow morning after we drop Alyssa off at Preschool. Todd works until next Monday and then has 10 (maybe even 12) days off...WHOOO HOOO!!! I am very excited!!

Later this afternoon I am watching a couple of my Friend's children and then tonight it's my monthly Mommy time (AKA: a haircut).

Have a Great Week and Stay Warm!
