Sick Saturday

I don't like being sick. I feel worse when my family is sick. I woke up early this morning (not sure of the exact time), with Aidan telling me he doesn't feel good. He climbed into bed and made himself comfy. He was running a fever (very hot to the touch!), so I didn't force him to leave. I let him stay, but told him he had to be still or he'd get moved. He was good to his word...except for elbowing me off the bed!

I wound up getting up early and hanging out with the cat. I had coffee, read a few magazines and had the cat sit with me, enjoying the silence. I got a chance to watch some home improvement shows on HGTV. I haven't watched HGTV in months! I usually don't get the television to myself in the mornings. Usually it's controlled by one of the kids and they're watching one of the shows they've recorded.

The little guy is still feeling puny--he's laying on the couch, sleeping, currently. I'll get him to his room shortly and tucked in. He's definitely not feeling well because he didn't even eat his dinner and I didn't hear about how hungry he was all day.

Hopefully this is a 24 hour bug. I've heard from another parent whose son is in our Cub Scout pack that his son was sick with a bug too. Hmmm. I hope it clears up soon!

Mother/son Dance

This was taken before the Mother-Son dance last night. Doesn't Aidan look great in a suit?? He wanted a suit for the dance. I think he looks spiffy! He had a lot of fun and so did I. I really enjoyed the dancing. For someone who hasn't done any serious exercise in the past 2 1/2 months, this was incredibly good! My feet, legs and arms hurt today, but it's a good hurt! I want to do this with him again next year, I'm thinking.

This was when we got there...he had his boutonniere pinned on him by a high school girl and he was holding the carnation. The next picture is going to make you laugh...and I have no idea why he did this, but everyone thought it was funny, so I had to take the picture!

He took a picture of me too, hence the angle.


We had fun. They played a lot of songs that I'd never heard before. I guess I need to listen to Radio Disney because several of them are played on it, I think. They played a Celine Dion song for the moms, they played several songs that had everyone moving forward, backwards, etc. It was like line dancing. They even played Thriller, and I danced it for the first time! The DJs were wonderful! They had a lot of fun and we had fun! We saw at least four people from Cub Scouts, including Aidan's teacher and her son there. Two of our den members were there with their moms and one of the older boys from the Pack was there with his mom. It was great!

Today, I'm recovering. I haven't been wearing heels since September or October and my feet are letting me know it. Plus various parts of me are protesting. I enjoyed it and when I get the photo we had taken last night, I'll get my one co-worker to scan it in and I'll post it.
