I'm finally getting a bit of peace and quiet this evening. The day started out very early....my mom called me at 6:00 this morning thinking I had called her! It was a good thing, though, as we got a head start to the day. I don't usually (ok, ever) get up that early, and it was nice to not have to rush. I had a MOPS meeting and took Timmy with me. Isaac hates having to go with the "little kids" so I let him go down to Maurice's office for the morning. He was very good, almost too good. Very quiet all morning. We (Isaac, Timmy, and I) came home at noon and, since Timmy had fallen asleep in the car, decided to all take naps before lunch. Again unusual, because both boys are usually starving by 12:00. Anyway, we finally ate lunch around 1:30, and I noticed Isaac felt a little warm. But I didn't think too much of it. Then again at about 3:30 I thought he felt rather hot. Turns out he had a 102 degree fever and a rash all over his midsection. I didn't know whether I should try to find a sitter (obviously he couldn't go to choir practice with Maurice) and I cancelled my first two lessons. Around 5:00 I finally decided to just stay home with him this evening so I cancelled the rest of my lessons. I felt bad about cancelling, but I am a mommy first. Isaac was so happy...he just laid on the couch with his head on my lap all evening. I knew he wasn't feeling well when at 7:30 he said, "I think I should go to bed now." He doesn't usually go to bed until 8:00. I hope he sleeps well and wakes up back to normal. His preschool class has its first field trip tomorrow, and he was really looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch. We'll see. At least Timmy is feeling great again.
Maurice has his first rehearsal tonight for the Christmas concert. I can't believe we're close enough to Christmas to be rehearsing Christmas music! Time does fly.
