Very Very Sick Day and a Very Very Normal Day

Tuesday was a very out of the ordinary day. The Kitty Cat woke up at 3am early Tuesday crying that her ear hurt. Long story short, the doctor confirmed an ear infection, so Kitty Cat is now on antibiotics. She was the saddest little girl all day. She threw up regularly all day (tummy-fulls of mucus) and was unable to eat anything except dry Cheerios for breakfast.

Well, thanks to some prayers and 2 rounds of antibiotics, she woke up at 7:30am today full of energy and volume, chatting with the dogs and just ready to tackle life. She did get cranky when she realized how hungry she was, but that was taken care of in short order. Although I was nervous about allowing her to eat too much out of the gate, my husband let her eat a whole lot. And she did eat a whole lot! Her appetite has been great all day.

Although we cancelled school yesterday, we were back in session today. The kids were also back to their usual bickering and such.

While his sister was taken ill, the Transformer decided that he was going to set up shop out on the sidewalk in front of the house. He set up these colored teeny shells that he had, as well as some paper boats, in an effort to make some money (to feed his Transformers action figures habit). Well, other than his sister buying a pink paper boat, he didn't get any customers. I think only one person walked by on the sidewalk during the 2 hours or so that he was out there. It was really interesting to watch him from inside too. He started shouting out,"Shell and Paper Boat Stand! Shell and Paper Boat Stand!" rhythmically, while walking up and down the sidewalk. After tiring of that, he started calling out the prices for his wares. It was the cutest darn thing! I kept trying to think of what examples he might have seen or heard for doing that, and I just couldn't come up with anything. I think he'll do great in popcorn sales for Cub Scouts next school year. :)

Because of my daughter's illness, we were unable to go to First Tuesday service for Austin Stone. I was disappointed, I admit. We will try again next month.

Today, the kids had swim classes, and then we went to the library for movie night to watch "Bee Movie." We got there about 12 minutes late so missed the opening of it. It was a cute movie. I'm not sure if Jerry Seinfeld should do any more lead roles in animation, however. I'll have to ponder that more before I can commit to that statement.

The Transformer's birthday is coming up. I want to do something wonderful for him, but I'm not sure what that will be. I had told him no party. Mostly because we (my husband and I) hate inviting people to have them bring presents. We would rather he shared an experience with some friends. I'll have to think harder on what we can do.
