Monday started off waiting for Matt the Bug/Mouse Guy. Finally, we heard a loud knock at the door. It scared the poopie outta Katie. I went to open the door for him and she just stood and stared. He waved at her, she waved back and then sobbed "BYE-BYEEEEEE" and burst into tears. After she got over her episode, we had to look out all the windows for "MUTT" while he was at "WURK". Katie assured me that he was "NICE", and then he went "BYE-BYEEE" for good.
Then, at about 4:30, I got a call from Huzbend. He wanted me to come pick him up from work. He didn't think he could ride home. Hmmmmm. So, we drove down to pick him up. He was nauseous.
At 8:30 he decided to have a bowl of baby oatmeal and puked his guts out in the sink. Our house is pretty echo-ie, and so the wonderful sound of retching filled the house. Hooray! Now, the waiting game begins. Did Huzbend contract a norovirus (Norwalk Virus/24 hr. stomach bug)? And if so, will Katie get it? Will I get it? They say symptoms emerge within 24 to 48 hours of exposure. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will skip on by.
Tuesday, I had to get up and go to the dentist. The dental hygienist tore apart my mouth and then almost drowned me with a fluoride treatment. She left me there with the fluoride foam in my mouth and no suction. I didn't want to swallow the stuff, so I had to squish the fluoride out of my mouth using my tongue. I had fluoride and drool everywhere. I must have looked like a bubblegum scented rabid animal. I have to go back in three weeks to have those cavities taken care of. I can't wait.
Tuesday afternoon was preschool. Katie was very clingy and didn't want to play. Then she just about fell asleep in the playground swing. Something wasn't right. We got home and she had a fever. She didn't want to eat anything and was very fussy the rest of the day. All night she kept waking up and crying.
Which brings me to today. Huzbend is recovered and at work. Katie, although a bit stuffy, seems to be back to normal. Things seem good.
I also saw a freakin' bald eagle out of one of my windows today. He was in a tree across the street. Forgive the bad camera shot, I had to use a pair of binoculars to get a decent pic of him. But, COME ON, how totally awesome is that?!?!?!
