Sorry for the lack of posts, but it has been an eventful week! I started off the week on Sunday with a fresh start- wanting to get the house in order, and taking some ideas from my friend Veronica on how to get the housework done in a week, while still having time for fun with Jordan, and maybe some “me-time” as well! Jordan and I attended church on Sunday, and Jordan stayed in the nursery for the second time. The first time was at my brother and sister in law’s church in Ky, but this was the first time at a church we’ve been thinking about attending here. She was a champ! She started playing with all the toys, and was having a grand time, so I snuck out and went to church. The workers said that she was a bit weepy when the other moms were dropping their kiddos off, because she thought it was me coming back, but once the door stopped opening, she was fine. When I went in to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, and had to be carried to me by the nursery worker! Monday I got up early, and dove into the housework before Jordan woke up, and I got so much accomplished before 11 when I had a hair appointment. I dropped Jordan off at Lori and Tyler’s house (Friends from Gymboree), and then went to get my hair done. I decided to dye my hair again, as I was itching for something new, and I really don’t want to cut my hair again, since I’m trying to grow it out! So now it’s a “brown-red”. It’s darker than before, and in the sun you can really see the red, but it’s subtle, so I don’t look like Ronald McDonald, or anything. We spent the rest of Monday at Tyler’s house playing, then Tuesday started off at the mall where we had Jordan’s 18 month portraits taken. They turned out really cute. Then on Wednesday we had a preview scheduled at The Little Gym (Gymboree’s competition) for a “competitor study” I had to do for work. Wednesday morning I went in to get Jordan, and her entire bed, hair, feet, pajamas, blanket, and stuffed dog were covered in throw-up. Evidentially she had gotten sick in the night, but didn’t wake me up. So straight to the tub went Jordan, and straight to the washer went all the bed linens and her clothes. She seemed fine that day, and ate breakfast without a problem, so I figured that her dinner hadn’t agreed with her, and she was fine. I was wrong. We went to our preview (which we really didn’t enjoy), then to Gymboree so she could actually play for a bit, then went back home, and she took a 3 1/2 hour nap. That night I fed her dinner, and about half way through she started throwing up again! So back to the tub, and MORE laundry! Poor thing. We called the doctor who told us the stomach flu is going around, and to not give her anything for a while, then to just offer clear liquids. She threw up again in her bed at 10pm, so again we changed the bed linens, but by this time she was done with baths, so she got a wipe-bath, fresh pj’s, and new sheets. We got her settled down again, and Thursday went much better. We stayed home Friday as well, and that’s when Jordan started having problems with “the other end”, which caused even more laundry. I’ll leave it at that. I worked today, and Mike stayed home with her. He has now come down with a respiratory thing- had a fever tonight, sore throat, coughing, head ache, etc. So the two sick-ees stayed here while I worked, and are now both in bed. I’m washing my hands every two minutes, and hoping I don’t catch anything from them, or any of the kids I come in contact with at work. We won’t be going to church tomorrow as Jordan is still recovering from her sickness, and I don’t want to leave her with Mike since he’s sick now, too. Maybe this next week I can get myself organized and actually do the housework on the days I thought would work! We shall see!
