It’s my FRIDAY and it’s going to be a nice long weekend (right before the chaos starts, A/K/A SCHOOL). I don’t know if it’s been obvious that I’ve been M.I.A. but things have been a tad crazy. I’ll sum it up this way:
The kids got sick from camp. We knew it was going to happen. They ended up with coxsackie, which left me home with them for a week. Actually, I came in for a day and a half until one of the attorney’s sent me home because he was afraid I was contagious.
Unfortunately, there is no real treatment for Coxsackie. Just have to monitor the fevers, as they go as high as 104. Sebastian had it first from a Sunday-Tuesday and Lili got it from Tuesday-Thursday. What a mess.
We had a serious case of cabin fever after being stuck at home for 9-days. So by Friday, we headed over to our hairdresser’s house. She has two kids but first, Lili cut off 10-inches of her hair.
She donated it to CWHL (Children with Hair Loss). Afterwards, we stayed for a few hours so the kids could play.
We ended up having lunch with my in-laws then headed over to my parents to hang out for a bit. Since the kids were really contagious, we hadn’t seen them in some time.
The next morning, we received a last minute text to meet up with my girlfriend and her kids at the park. We hadn’t seen them in some time so we made a point to make it over.
FYI, Lili loves her new hairdo.
Friends
We caught up for about two hours before we had to head home and over to Julian’s football game. Poor kids were tired but they woke up by the time we got there.
On our way back home we picked up pizza and nachos. It was a LONG and HOT day.
Sunday (08/21/16), my girlfriend Rachel was coming over and I made her favorite, Tortilla Espanola.
I was happy to see her.
The rest of the week we were back to normal and back to camp. Also, we rescheduled a play-date that we canceled because I was afraid kids were still contagious. (08/26/16)
One of the trails I run by my office has a Fairy Trail. One of the mothers and her son with autism make random little fairy houses for everyone to come and see. It is SO cute.
Kids did great looking for fairy houses and had a ton of fun. I can’t believe they walked for over an hour. After, we went back to my girlfriend’s house and the kids played some more.
So, just ONE MORE WEEK until both kiddos are in school. I have more to update on. Some good, some, unfortunately bad… But I’ll have to get that post together. I have been running and working out regularly. I leave you with this:
Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. You deserve it!
