Sick but at least we won't be homeless for long...

Poor little Addie woke up really early this morning crying and crawled into my bed burning up. I took her temp and she had a low grade fever but no other symptoms. I had some new house errands that HAD to be done today so Mom came to watch Addie and brought her some Popsicles to get her to eat something. They must have helped because after a bit I got a call from Mom telling me that Addie was asking for a fish. Haha, that little stinker will not stop asking for a fish. (She's been wanting a fish for a few weeks but I told her she had to earn the money for it herself before she could buy one so she gets money by keeping her panties dry, cleaning her messes, and helping me cook and clean.) By afternoon her fever hit 104.1 F and she was miserable! I gave her some Motrin and she tried to nap but kept jerking awake crying. Finally the Motrin kicked in, her fever was down to 100 and she felt good enough to eat some dinner. I had picked her up some chicken noodle soup with fish shaped noodles so Addie was really excited to eat dinner and since she hadn't shown any sick stomach symptoms I let her eat the soup, crackers, half a roll, and a Popsicle. To get Addie to eat sometimes we make her food "talk" or play games with her, so I was making her fish "ask" to go to her tummy. After about 12 spoonfuls of soup she leaned over, looked at the fish on the spoon and said "Fish, I am FULL!!!!" Haha!

Tonight her fever shot back up but after some more Motrin she was feeling better and ate a snack before bed of cantaloupe and goldfish crackers. So I guess this is just a fever virus because her tummy seems to be fine. I hope it only lasts the night so we can start counting down the hours until we can leave the house without passing along germs! And I really hope Jarom, Mom, or I don't catch it!

By the way... we bought the house we were considering in the historic district in 5 points, had the home inspection, and are awaiting the radon test results. We'll still be in the same ward but a much better elementary and middle school zone. We'll just have to move before Addie is in high school or request a transfer. We've requested repairs from the sellers so I hope they will agree to them all! We will have a lot to do to the house when we move in but hopefully it will all go smoothly! I was going to post a picture of the house but it's been pulled off MLS since it's under contract. We close on the 28th and currently close on our home on the 24th, so I am trying to push it to the 28th so we won't be homeless for 4 days! If they won't let us push it back then lookout Mom, we are sleeping over for a week! So now just to pack up and move... eek! If anyone gets bored and needs something to do (once Addie is better of course) then come on over and help me pack up some boxes! ;)
