Fevers have broken, and we got some fresh air!

Today was a pretty good day, considering we’ve been sick since Tuesday! Monkey Do woke up with a temperature of 97.6, and Monkey See woke up with 99.8. Still high, but not unbearable. Daddy took the girls out for breakfast… well.. out to get it… They went to a local donut shop and picked out a bunch of donuts to bring home.. It was a super special treat for them.. and me too! I got to get up, shower and get ready to go out without two little girls running around me and all over my room while I try to get dressed. It was so nice. 

Once breakfast was done, we all got our shoes on and got ready to run a few errands… We went to Walmart first to buy some planters, soil, and seeds. Then we headed to IKEA to grab a few things I’ve been dying to get. We got a new shoe drawer for the plethora of shoes we have in the hallway. We also got some more paper for their easels, and more train tracks for their train table. I think there were a few other things I got, but I can’t even remember right now… LOL… I kinda got lost in there… it’s not difficult. LOL. The girls were telling us they were hungry, so we grabbed a quick bite to eat before we left. 

After IKEA, we headed out to Costco to do our normal grocery shopping… This was the first shopping trip that we didn’t get a big box of diapers!!! I’m so excited! No more spending $40 per payday just on diapers! This is going to be so awesome! I did however stock up on wipes (I had a coupon)… Diapers or not, any mommy knows how valuable wipes are for just about anything you do or anywhere you go. They did pretty well when we first got there, but by the time it was time to get in line, they were super fussy… I knew they weren’t feeling too well, and it was definitely nap time for them. I think we all were getting fussy. The lines were all soooo long… Of course what else is to be expected when you’re there at 130pm? We hurried out of there and drove straight home. 

The rest of the day went like any other. Monkey See and Monkey Do took their nap, and Daddy and I cleaned up the kitchen. We got everything together for the girls so we could plant our seeds when they woke up from nap. We were definitely excited about showing the girls how to grow their own flowers. Hopefully they do better than me, considering I kill just about any flower I have ever owned… Yeah.. no green thumb here.. Mine got lost somewhere along the way. 

We planted our seeds, and watered everything… Now we wait… 

The girls are sleeping now.. as well as they can. Poor Monkey See keeps coughing herself asleep. I just don’t know what else to do. There’s a cool mist humidifier running, and the mattress is still propped up. I gave her some medicine to hopefully dry out her congestion. I’ve had to run in there a few times to give her a drink of water so she wouldn’t choke on her own dry throat. I just pray that she can get some solid sleep without a coughing fit.

As much as I don’t want to miss it, I’m not going to go to yoga tomorrow. I want to go, and I hate not going, but I think we all need some more recuperating time. Especially them. So if any of my fellow Yoga gals check this out.. I PROMISE I’ll be back on Wednesday!!!
