After getting my medicine Sunday night, I really was hoping for a miraculous recovery Monday morning. It did not happen. My eye was still super red and swollen in the eye lid and under eye area, and my cheek was swollen. I've had a ton of sinus infections but none like this. Sam also woke with a fever and cough. I hated to rush him right to the doctor, which was good, because I don't drive with my glasses, and Ned was not able to leave work. We just had a day of rest at home. Ned grilled steaks for dinner since my hamburger meat went bad before the date for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. My eye was still red and swollen at the end of the day so I had some drops called in.
I knew Tuesday would be another glasses day so that I could do the eye drops. My glasses are fine, but after wearing contacts all day, every day since middle school, I just don't feel like I have a handle on the world in my glasses. I felt pretty bad, but I think I could have managed better if I had my contacts in. Anyway, Sam was still running fever so Ned took him to the doctor. His left ear was infected explaining the cough and possibly the fever. Avery and I enjoyed some "just girls" time while they were gone. After Sam went to bed that night, we watched the Disney planning DVD. Avery is so excited about everything, but she really got excited over breakfast in restaurants and pizza in the hotel rooms.
It was a happy morning Wednesday when I could put my contacts in. However, Sam was still running fever and I quickly realized that I felt bad. I rested while he did then felt a lot better. Ned came home after lunch, then Avery and I went to the store after nap time. Ned had a meeting after dinner, and Sam was so fussy that I decided we needed a ride in the car. Avery thought I meant her Cozy Coupe, and we had some tears. Luckily Ned's meeting was canceled, and he pulled up as we were leaving. We all took a ride then Avery took a spin in her coupe. Wednesday night is our biggest TV night, and Ned had a fire right in the middle of everything.
Thursday we were feeling good, so we got out and met Ned for lunch at the Palm Tree. After naps we went to The Whimzy Tree so that I could order my rain coat. Ned came home after work but had dinner and a business meeting at the fire house. I got the kids to bed and did some reading in the quiet house.
Avery needs a ponytail like this for Disney World and school.
After Sam's nap Friday morning we got out and went to the store. This may have been the first time I've taken both kids. I know it's been at least since Sam was in his carrier. We switched to Food Lion for the car cart, and I'm tempted to pay the extra money each week to enjoy the nicer shopping experience.
It was lunch time when we got home, then it was time for naps that didn't go well. Once everyone was up I took pictures for Sam's 13 month post. Avery helped me get my camera settings right then enjoyed the iPad.
Then we enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.
We ate dinner at home, a rarity on a Friday night. I fixed chicken and cream cheese taquitos from Pinterest and Spanish rice from Kristen's blog. Both were easy and yummy. Sam cried off and on the whole time I cooked, and Ned was late getting home, so I was a little frazzled by the time we ate. Everyone enjoyed a stroll after dinner.
We headed to Williamsburg Saturday {today}. My children's sleep schedules {mainly Sam's now} can give me the hives, so a day away is a big deal. I'm pretending he slept on the way to the ferry, but if he did it wasn't for long. Everyone was excited to reach the boat, especially Sam, who had some business to attend to.
Usually we do our shopping then go to a restaurant for lunch, but we needed to eat today before we were done. We all had some yummy pizza at the food court, which was calm compared to the crowds outside. It was a quick trip but I got most of the kids' play clothes for the summer and some new jammies. I even ran into an old friend that went to Southampton Academy with me. It has been years since we've seen each other, and she's not on Facebook, so that was a real treat in Hanna Andersson. We left about 2 p.m. and Sam promptly fell asleep, so we missed out on the Colonial Williamsburg area, but we figured we would. He woke up on the ferry, but he was generally happy on the way home. Avery was fine the whole time since movies are a treat in the car when Sam is supposed to be sleeping. We got dinner from Applebee's once we got home then put the kids to bed early.
Now that spring break is over, I'm on the countdown to the end of school...47 school days remain with lots of fun spring activities for the weekends.
