Nathan has been under the weather all day today. My sister and I had grand hopes of running out to the Legends today since I had to go out to that area to pick up my tables and booth setup from this past weekend’s event. We had it all planned out. We’d take the kids out with us and run by, pick up my junk, then time it just right in time for lunch. I hardly ever get to go out to that side of town but love that area because of the plethora of eating establishments. And, well, let’s face it… eating is one of my favorite things to do.

Scratch that plan. Nathan had been complaining of a sore throat and just as I was ready to get him dressed for leaving he told me he just wanted to lie down and go to sleep. So, I asked him if he wanted to nap in my room or his and he opted for, of course, Mommy’s bed. He fell fast asleep and stayed that way until I returned home from picking up my stuff. When I got back I went to check on him and he was burning up with fever and woke up complaining of feeling just plain crummy + with a sore throat. I brought him downstairs and let him watch a movie and eat a bit of lunch. Since then, he’s fallen asleep off and on here on the couch in the living room and has been drinking apple juice. He won’t let me give him Tylenol but I think his fever has subsided for now. Poor little guy.

The highlight of my day was when I took him up to my bedroom to rest like I mentioned earlier. I covered him with our thick comforter and he said he was still cold. So, I took yet another blanket and placed that on top of him, to which he replied softly,

“Thanks, Mom. You’re the BEST.”
