Strep {again} and no sleep!

We had a pretty easy weekend. Jarrod took Stratton to the Harding football game (in Searcy) and Arden and I stayed home, did laundry and bought groceries. Sunday we had lunch with some friends after church and went home and took naps. Sunday night after church we met with our small group.

Her favorite food is Mac and cheese and bananas!

Arden is all the time wanting a wipe, and she will walk around and wipe everything! If is wasn't for the occasional nose and mouth wiping along with wiping the surfaces, I'd let her have a clorox wipe and maybe she'd actually do some good!


Saturday night she fell asleep in the floor! I was rocking her and reading to her when she scooted off my lap with her blanket and laid down and went to sleep!

Yesterday Stratton had to be picked up from school around noon. He had a fever and was complaining of a sore throat. . . Strep round 3! Jarrod took him to the doctor and theynput him on antibiotics again. We have an appointment with the ENT on Monday. Thanksgiving week might turn into recovering from a tonsillectomy week for him!

He was feeling some better by last night, but when the pain reliever wears off he goes downhill fast. He woke up around midnight and was smoking hot, but after a dose of tylenol he was resting easier. He seemed to be feeling some better this morning, but still had a fever.

We are all just tired from lack of sleep! Neither of the kids are sleeping well, which equals no sleep for Jarrod and myself. Arden was up most of the night last night. I am still convinced it is her newly sprouting teeth, but if she continues to have cold symtoms I will probably be taking her to the doctor in a couple of days. If for no other reason than to get some tylenol with codine so she will sleep! Its not good- for any of us!


Arden loves Strattons PB chair. He has never been much for sitting in it (he likes to jump on/off of it and use it as a stool to climb on things and other such purposes) but she will just sit in it and watch tv or whatever. I have a feeling she will be getting her own in the near future! He is usually fine with her using it, but occasionally they will share it, too.


She's been fighting being put to bed. She passed out while we were watching Monsters University last night!

I am ready for a night of good sleep with no interruptions! Maybe someday. . .
