Vampires, Strep, and A Diet...

What a combination! It is only Monday night and it has already been a week. I was home with Grace last Tuesday and Wednesday with her running a fever. We just thought we were better. After church yesterday, Nano discovered she was running a 101 temp. (I am so sorry to all friends whose kids were exposed at church). Last night, it spiked to 102.8 and this morning it was 103.5. Nano stepped in and took the day off to take care of her and go to the doctor. We are now on meds for our 1st case of strep. Looks like Mamma is going to be home again tomorrow. (Daddy has not sick days accrued yet as his new job).

Hunter and started our new diet today. High protein and very controlled carbs in my 6 little meals I am eating each day. Of course, it would be the day that I have kids bringing me yummy treats. One of babies from last year brought me a chocolate cupcake with butter cream frosting.... UGH! I had to tell Kate to WALK AWAY WITH THE CUPCAKE! Thanks Renee for letting me get a good whiff. TORTURE!

My highlight... I am totally enthralled with a series of books I really had no desire to read! TWILIGHT! Nano gave them to me this weekend on Saturday and told me to read them because they were actually kind of good. Needless to say, I am oddly fascinated!! I read the 1st book in less than 24 hours. It was painful this morning when I had to get up at 5:30...I was up until 12 a.m. reading! So Shara, you told me I needed to get on the bandwagon last weekend and I am. I wonder if I can finish another book while I at home with a sick Grace tomorrow??? Maybe having to take off a day to be home with a sick baby is not so bad after all…
