Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)...Much to my kids' embarrassment!

My baby girl is feeling better.  I kept her home the rest of the week though.  Her fever didn't really begin to go down until around noon on Wednesday.  She finally ate a little that evening.  But until today she has kept a low-grade fever.  Her doctor called yesterday to let me know that the other strep tests had come back normal.  So I guess she just had some viral infection or flu virus.  Who knows, with all the crud that's going around right now.  I don't like to see her down like that with a fever.  She's so active, it just really hurts to have her so sick.   So far Andrew has only had a sore throat lately.  He just bought one of those DDR games for Game Cube (Dance Dance Revolution), and I think he's about to wear himself out on it, though.  (You can actually see how many calories you burn using it;  maybe I should commandeer it a few days a week!)

Thomas and I had a nice, relaxing evening.  He had shot his newest muzzleloader right after work today, sighting it in, and so tonight he sat here cleaning it, and I kept him company.  Of course while he was cleaning the gun I was on the computer, messing around, and AOL Radio has been playing the best 70s music on their Super '70s station.  We were both singin' along and gettin' down! 

Oh.  I just had a thought.  Maybe that's why the kids didn't interrupt us?  You know, I was thinking how wonderful it was that they were leaving us alone and we were getting some down time, companionably doing our respective things, but enjoying the music together.  Now I realize that our jammin' was acting as a protective barrier.  I'll file that away for future reference.

Good idea. That dancing thingy sounds fun. I am so out of what is in now days as my grandchildren doesn't live close. Anything to do with dancing I am for it. I use to weigh a lot less when I line danced several times a week. Glad your baby girl is better. Paula

Sorry to hear you have one sick.  It is awful when they are running a fever and not much you can do. Hopefully she's on the mend.  The dance things are hysterical!  I didn't realize until a few months ago that there are competitions and people take it seriously!  LOL  Enjoy the rest of your weekend~

Children tend to pick up every bug going around, don't they?  I'm trying to picture Thomas cleaning his gun as you're on AOL -- that could be a story all on its own! <grin>  Thank you for your support in the Vivis.  One Ball is very happy today!

If you aren't hating Dance Revolution by the time you get this, you are a better girl than I!
