Scarlet Fever!????!???!!!
Is that such a thing anymore? Well apparently it is because Nathan was diagnosed with it last Friday. From what I understand it is strep with a rash. So essentially, just a bacterial infection which is treated with antibiotics. In the grand scheme of things it's not that scary but just the phrase "scarlet fever" makes me want to burst into tears! Of course I was worried about Hannah catching it, but John & Linda whisked her away for a weekend getaway to the glorious Maroa, IL.
So I spent the day yesterday cleaning and sanitizing the house top-to-bottom. But, the good news is now it's all done and ready for the Thanksgiving weekend.
By the way is there anything worse than a sick husband? Hmmm....how about a sick toddler? At least the husband will sleep! Nathan refused to take his nap several days last week and again today. I hope this ritual comes to an end with his 19th century illness because Mommy really, really, really likes naptime. It's my happy place. The day can be very long with a whiny toddler clinging to you. I have to remember to take deep breaths. And when Sophie gets in my way I lose all patience (with her only - not the babies!). She is constantly getting caught under my feet and jumping in my face when I'm trying to do something with the babies. Grrr. I was even to the point where I asked my parents to dogsit for awhile. I felt so awful after just talking about sending her away that I was nearly in tears. That feeling didn't last too long. We are back to ----
Ohhhhhh...Nathan just got up for the second time tonight and now Hannnah is crying. It is a total "Monday"......
