MIA

So, last Thursday around 4:30pm I got a call from day care that Luke had thrown up & was running a temp of 102. Well, after I let work know that I wouldn't be in on Friday I was off. When I got there he was playing a little bit outside and immediately wanted me to pick him up, so I knew he was sick (or tired, but since I already knew he was sick...). So, anyway we got home and he threw up a couple more times that night and was running a pretty high temp about 4 hours after giving him Tylenol, so he pretty much had 2 doses of Tylenol that night. Got up Friday and went to the doctor (conveniently had an appt to check his ears later that day, but got it switched to first thing in the morning). His ears looked clear, but he had strep. Ugh! But, we should count ourselves lucky that he's almost 4 and this is the first time he's had strep.
Well, we decided that we are going with laminate. After getting an estimate from a contractor who used to lay flooring for Lowe's, he said that Pergo is the way to go, because it is pretty scratch resistant and pretty easy to take care of, so that is a relief to have that decided. The good thing also is laminate is about half the price of hardwood.
I didn't update yesterday because I was worn out and was dealing with getting Luke to sleep. We had put him in bed around 8:15 & he was still awake at 9:15 - ugh! Again tonight, we did get him to bed at 8:00 - of course it was a fight the whole time. We try to get him to understand that he is tired and that is why he is whiney.
So, tonight I got back on the elliptical, after 2 weeks of resting my knee, I decided that I needed to get back on 'the horse.' I also got a knee brace to help. I only lasted about 10 minutes, but I keep thinking baby steps and I'll be back where I was before I sprained my knee.
Well, that's about all from here. Hope you all had a great day! Until tomorrow...
