My Little World…

Well, after another couple of days of torrential rain, I thought today was going to be a better day, but no, of course not! Not only is it raining again, but my baby girl has strep throat!

My husband and I went with a few friends to an Extreme Cage Fight last night. It’s not really my thing, but my husband is all into mixed martial arts and UFC fights. My daughter has been taking karate for three years now, and her instructor was doing his first MMA fight last night. He’s an undefeated kickboxing champ, but this is a whole different ballgame…

He did very well though. He had a little trouble when he wasn’t on his feet, and his competitor learned quickly to try to keep him off his feet. His feet and legs should be considered deadly weapons! He wins just about all of his fights with a TKO spinning head kick, and last night was no exception. I kind of felt sorry for the other guy. He was stumbling all over the place when he finally stood up.

So after the fight, when we picked Jordan up from Nana’s house, she was complaining of a sore throat. I figured it was her sinuses draining, so I gave her some decongestant and some Motrin. Well, this morning she woke me up crying because her throat was hurting so badly. I gave her more Motrin and a Chloraseptic lozenge. Then I realized how red her cheeks were, and how hot she felt. I grabbed the thermometer, and her fever was 103!

Off to the phone I went to see if we could get her in to see the doc. Luckily one of their offices is open a half day on Saturdays. So after a quick throat swab and a wait, the doc came in to tell us that she has strep. This is the first time she’s had it in her almost eight years…

She’s also lost 5 pounds since October… She was 60 lbs. then, and now she’s down to 55. I don’t know what’s up with that. She isn’t eating any differently, and she’s no more active than she’s ever been. Maybe it’s just a growth spurt. She is getting taller… I’m going to have to keep a watch on that, because it kind of worries me. I could understand if she’d been sick, but she hasn’t, and nothing else in her daily routine has changed.

So she’s piled up on the couch watching Home Alone 2, and I’m working on the computer. I have some new cards and labels listed in my Posh Girl shop.

I’ve also added a ton of pendants to my Quirk Me shop. I have a special running on those too - buy 2 and get a free chain or cable choker.

Well, I’m off to chill out for a while myself. It’s chilly and rainy outside - sound like a good excuse to take nap to me - lol! Not that I ever take naps - I just can’t seem to sleep during the day unless I am deathly ill, but at least I can chill on the couch.
