Bad Juju and Invisible Cookies

My Life – Boy did we have some bad Juju going around our house this weekend. Everyone is or was sick, including myself. Of course Mom has to take care of everyone and get very little sleep in the process, so now I am sick. At least I did not have to cook dinner tonight, hubby went and pick-up takeout.
My daughter was the sickest this weekend. She ran a fever from Friday night until Sunday that never went below 102 even with Tylenol every 4 hours. What is really freaky when my daughter has a fever is that she hallucinates. The first time it happened it really scared me, now it just sort of creeps me out. There are times she sees and talks to people who are not there and last night she was eating cooking that were not there. Her fever finally broke today and she is back to herself.

My Funny – My daughter had some pretty crazy moments hallucinating when her fever spiked up. At one point last night I had just settled down on the couch to zone out in front of the TV, and then I hear her yelling. I ran to her room and she was sitting up in bed waving her arms all around. I asked her what was wrong. She told me to get the bees away from her and take them out of her hair. I sat down on her bed and gently shook her and rubbed her back explaining to her that it is nothing. She then turned to me, eyes wide open, and said in a real creepy calm voice “Get the bees out of my hair”. I said alrighty… so I rubbed my hands all over her head and told her they were gone. She looked back at me and said thank you and went back to sleep. Geezzzz. At lease she was still polite and said thank you when she was acting like the creep show!

One of my Favorite Things – HANGERS!! The nice plastic clothing hangers and not because your clothes hang nice on them. My kids are always carrying the bathroom stools around the house to turn on lights in different rooms in the house. It drives me crazy, because then I am constantly tripping over the stools. I made the new rule that the stools are to stay in the bathroom, well that rule backfired. Now my kids are always calling me to different rooms to turn on the lights. So one morning I was sitting at the table drinking my coffee trying to wake up. My daughter was calling me to turn on her light. I told her to find something and push it up herself. She walked out of her room holding a hanger smiling. I now find hangers in weird placed because both my kids use them to turn off and on the lights, but now I am not falling over a stool.
