See these two adorable faces? Well the last week the smiles have been missing. The laughing, the games, everything has been missing? What stole the happiness from our house? Its a dreaded thing called H1N1. It hit our house this week and it took everything! It started out Wednesday morning. Brooklyn woke up running a high fever, head hurt, coughing, and body aches. I called the clinic and they told me that they are no longer testing but she has all the symptoms of H1N1. Great. The only thing that I could treat her with was Tylenol and Motrin. Her fever finally broke Wed night around 9:00. The next morning she got up and her fever was back at 101.2 which was better than the 102.4 from the previous day. So we spent another day at home and finally yesterday afternoon she was fever free and back to her normal self. We kept her home from school today just to be on the safe side. I stayed home from work this morning and was just dropping Brooklyn off at my moms when my phone rang.......

It was our daycare and now Cooper had all the same symptoms. So here we are hanging out at home again and I put my nurses hat back on. Right now he is laying on the couch in the family room while I work on the computer and he is just a limp noodle. The bad thing is I wanted to snuggle him but he won't snuggle. Guess those days are over! So.....its going to be a weekend of no plans for me and the kids.

I am sending Craig out of the house tomorrow. Its opening pheasant weekend here in South Dakota which is practically a HOLIDAY around here. He is going hunting with my dad and poor Cooper was going to go until he got sick. There will be other weekends for him in the future to go. Have a great weekend everyone!
