Gratitude 365 Day #222
L and family came from Big City for an early birthday celebration for the Bug. We had lunch together and then a few had naps. We joined the T's for early afternoon presents, and that is when we noticed the Bug fading. There was less talking, and she cuddled up with Papa on the couch under a blanket. She tried to eat a Taco for supper, but when we sang "Happy Birthday" she cried through it.
If you guessed it, her fever was 101. She was crying because she wanted to eat her ice cream cake and couldn't. AND school was starting this week and she didn't want to miss the first day. And she was celebrating her birthday at school on the second day. AND she just felt crummy.
The B's were eager to leave the germs behind, so we all headed home. (Took some ice cream cake for the road. E would have hated missing that. Heck! Nana would have hated missing that, too.)
So the great idea of celebrating early came to a crashing halt. The best thing: at least L and family were there to see the Bug open their gift. (And I'll take any time I can get with my Big City Babes.) I'm grateful that next Friday night, the Mr. and I will celebrate the Bug again. And this time, hopefully no one will be sick. Fingers crossed.
