McDonalds at 3am...

Saturday, June 30, 2007

So I was just about to post last night when something came up...

Yesterday Chad stayed home from work because Thursday he came home from work with a 101 degree fever. He felt much better after some rest and medicine. Nick though was started to get it, with a runny nose. Then he started doing something odd. He was letting all the spit build up in his mouth and then spitting it out, instead of swallowing. So we assumed that meant he had a sore throat. At 8pm we noticed he was burning hot and checked his temp. It was 101, and so we gave him tylenol. Then at 11, bedtime finally (later than usual b/c he was wired for some reason) and he was still hot. So we checked his temp again, and it was 103. So I was on the phone waiting on the line for the aftercare thingy to see what else we could do to get it down and the temp went up to 103.8. So off to the E.R. we go. Four hours later we left, nothing was wrong. Just sick. Anyway, so we are keeping an eye on him, and hoping he'll ride it out. And we found ourselves at mcdonalds on the way home since we were all starving. Yum Big Macs!

I was disturbed last night (before the incident) to find that after I had almost finished the foot on my spiral sock, that I did the heel wrong. It didn't look like the one on the first sock. So turns out I did one of the rows a little off, and it messed it all up. I had to rip it all back out. I had hoped to finish the sock last night so I could start my mystery stole already. I've been forcing myself not to cast on for it till I finish the sock. So now I've got even more to do on the sock, and MS3 will have to wait a bit longer. Anyway here is a pic I took of the two mis-matched heels before I ripped. See how the left one looks different, smoother? It should be more textured like the right...ah well.Other than those two mishaps, not much is happening. I started a quilt along for the quilts I want to make the kids. Did I mention? I think not. It's over at quiltalong.blogspot.com and the email to join is quilt_along@yahoo.com. No deadline to join or finish. I just thought it would be fun. Well ok, I suppose that's it for now...

Oh wait! I forgot to mention, when I went on my sock buying spree (ok not spree, but still) I got on ebay some Socks that Rock yarn. To see what the fuss was about. It seems nice, not incredible or anything. Soft, springy feeling, the normal price is ok for the yardage. Which there is less of than most of the other sock skeins I've seen. Anyway I like it though. Just not blown away is all. At least it's superwash! There is more blue-green in it than the picture shows. It's called Sapphire.Ok now I'm really done...

The poor little thing! I hope he feels better! How long did you end up waiting in the ER ?

Hope it all passes soon and no one else catches it! Sick kids are the worst... I'd much rather have it all than see them sick.
