We had a decent rest of the week last week. It was really rainy and humid, but Stratton’s nose started to look completely normal and Arden’s diaper rash starting getting better. The soy milk must be agreeing with her! Thank goodness! I guess we will try milk again in a couple of months.
Jarrod’s parents came and got the kids Friday night. We had dinner with them at Cracker Barrel before they went back to Searcy.

Trying to give it away:
Saturday I slept late (ahhhhh. . .it felt so good!) while Jarrod ran some errands. Then he worked on trimming the shrubs and bushes and I cleaned up the garage. We also defrosted the deep freezer. Whew! It was still too warm for me to be working outside! I hate sweating! Our garage is still full of clutter, but at least it’s organized clutter and a little cleaner now!
Saturday evening we went to Searcy to pick up the kids. We had homemade pizza and then made our way to Hickory Ridge to spend the night (Gigi got home from her trip Saturday night) and then we were going to get up and go to church with them- it was Homecoming Sunday- But typical for us lately, that didn’t happen.
Saturday night around 3am Stratton woke up with a tummy ache. He threw up once. I gave him zofran, I figured he had a bug. He laid on the couch and watched TV and moaned and groaned till about 6am, when I convinced him to go back to his bed and I laid down with him. Then about 7ish Arden woke up and we got up again. He acted a little better, but was running fever and still just wanted to lay around. We decided that Jarrod would take Arden to church and potluck and I would stay at my mom and dad’s with Stratton. We were eating breakfast when Jarrod’s phone rang. He had to go to work! Since I didn’t know if I could handle a sick kid (especially one that is throwing up) and a baby alone, we opted to stay in HR while Jarrod went back to go to work. My dad said he’d take us home later. Stratton felt awful. He just laid on the couch all day. I couldn’t get him to eat anything. But he never threw up again. He said something about his ear hurting, but other than that he couldn’t pinpoint where he hurt. We just laid on the couch and watched tv all day, he’d cat nap but never really took a good nap.
Eating a popsicle with Gigi’s new hat on. Real men wear Pink!
Stratton learned how to take pictures on my phone. . .
I bet he took 20 of himself!
Arden went to church and potluck with Gigi and Pops and must have had a big time, because when they got home she was asleep and my dad laid her down in her pack and play and she slept for 3 hours!!
After she woke up dad took us home. Stratton ran a fever all night, so Jarrod decided since he was off he would take him to the doctor first thing Monday.
I went ahead and went to work, and Jarrod took Stratton to sick call. Turns out he has strep! I know it’s going around! It’s weird though because Stratton never once complained about his throat! Even when the doctor asked him about it he said it didn’t hurt. Who knows! He’s still running a fever, so Gigi will probably come stay with him tomorrow (thank goodness she is back!). I did hear from Stratton’s teacher after I emailed her about him having strep and she said her daughter has it and they have 5 kids out today and she had just sent one home with fever and a sore throat! Yikes!
I am doing my best to stay away from everyone today- that stuff is so contagious! I just hope Arden doesn’t get it, but I am a little worried. She has been SO cranky the last few days (maybe a week?) I chalked it up to teeth and the new soy milk and taking her off the bottle and the diaper rash. . . I mean she’s got A LOT going on. So hopefully she won’t get strep on top of it all!
