Update on Elsi's fever

Thankfully, Elsi's fever didn't last long. It was gone before I got home from work at 3 the next day -- not even 24 hours. I'm glad it didn't last long. Nobody likes having a sick kid; it's sad for them and sad for you!

Elsi's first fever

Elsi has a fever tonight, somewhere around 102.5, but since I don't like to do the rectal thermometer, I don't know the exact temperature. I gave her Tylenol; hopefully, it helps. She seemed mostly okay today, but tonight, she was a little more whiny than usual -- not upset, just puny.

I'm slowly learning to trust my "mom-sense". Usually, when I think they might have a temp., they do. I like that I can use that hunch to make an educated guess when it comes to the welfare of my children!

Sleeping help!

Sleeping is not going well in our family these days! Elsi has stopped sleeping through the night. Greg and I have been having allergy troubles and both snoring and waking each other up. Those sleep problems I can cope with, though.

What I can't handle anymore is this: Luke and Ben take FOREVER at night to go to sleep -- I'm so tired of it! It's 10:30 and they're still awake back there, inventing reasons to yell for me to come back there to answer a question, scratch an itchy spot, pick up a dropped stuffed animal, etc. I used to let them read books while they were going to sleep. We haven't let them do that in a couple weeks and it hasn't made one bit of difference. They've also been taking really short afternoon naps, around an hour today -- shouldn't they be exhausted by now?

Sunday

Well, today was our first day back at Sunday school, with the start of the new Sunday school term. I think we might be one Sunday late, but it didn't sound like it in the ladies' class I went to. Luke's starting the four-year-old class, and Ben is finally in an actual class, not just a nursery. I want to check out the other ladies' class too, though. Today I went to the group that is studying Colossians. Next Sunday I think I'll check out the "Women equipping women" class and see what that's all about.

Seems weird to write about this stuff for other people to read it. Do people really want these details of my life? They're just so ordinary.
