Those would be this morning's temperatures of Gabby and Greta.
Gabby came home from track practice (where she very impressively qualified for the relay team!) on Monday with a fever of 100.9. Greta's fever came last night, after three days of thinking she'd averted danger.
So with Gabby home all week, and Greta down for the count now, our last week home without Ben has been relatively quiet, with the exception of sporadic coughing attacks and frequent water refills.
Our accomplishments have included:
Movies: Enchanted, Little Mermaid, Bambi, High School USA, Legally Blonde*, Best of Chris Farley SNL*, and Dumb and Dumber*.
*Note: some movies were just for Gab and me~sorry Greta, you'll have to wait! : )
TV Shows: Survivor, American Idol, Regis and Kelli, Merv Griffin's Crosswords, and The Price is Right.
Food: Fresh bagels from Roth's bakery, Jamba Juice, lattes, Subway, apples, bananas, and tons of water and OJ.
Activities: Washing blankets, washing sheets, washing p.j.'s, bleaching bathrooms, bleaching kitchen, washing thermometer, rubbing backs, applying cold washcloths to foreheads, cuddling, loving, enjoying each other's company, cat naps, sleeping in, talking to Ben in Israel every day at 11am, and plenty of texting after 2:40pm when Gabby's school friends are let loose.
Lesson learned: Spending time with family is the best time that can be spent! I love these girls...fever and all! : )

Get well soon girls! You know, there is something sweet about those times, even if it is icky when they are sick. Enjoy a quiet weekend, and thank the Lord that they aren't babies anymore, it's so much easier when they are older and fighting these bugs.
Drink some extra oj for us tonight, okay?
Love ya!
Little secret about me. I love it when Tobin has a fever. No energy. Just wants to suggle. I wish he always had a low grade fever.
PS Did you loose a pretty earring with feathers resently? I found one in the bottom of my new purse.
Hopefully everyone starts feeling better ASAP! It sounds like you got some things accomplished!
Have a great weekend friend!
Get well, soon! :)
I feel your pain. Bella woke up at 4am Thursday morning and had thrown up. Didn't take long to figure out that she was burning up 104! It was so bad that she was seeing things & hearing things - it was very scary! Luckily the tylenol did it's job and brought the fever down. I stayed home with her that day - it was very nice to have her by my side all day. Of course I was able to work (on my computer from home) while she was sleeping, but definitely a nice bonding time!
Sounds like your having a bit of fun mixed in with the yuckness!
Hope the girls feel better soon, and that MOM skips right over it ;)
What a GREAT mama you are!! :)
It sounds like time well spent!
Get well soon!

so sad to cancel our coffee date~ we'll definitely have to rain check! Sharon - you are seriously a good mommy! God Bless your household~ you poor things. Talk to you soon. Lori
Hope the girls are feeling better soon, but it sounds like you've had a really great time together. Movies, good healthy food, tv, relaxing and quality time together...what more could you ask for?
Hey Sharon, Sorry to read that your children were ill...hope they are out and about now. What impressed me was how even in the midst of fevers and added demands you maintained the joy of being a mom. Good for you!!
Bless you, Patsy (yep) ;-)
