It's a sick day. My poor daughter woke up with a really high fever, and just misearable. I decided that what she needs is momma to stay home and take care of her. We have been total couch potatoes, and snuggled on the couch for the first 3 hours of the day. She is currently taken a nap, and I'm on here confessing that I feel like a total slacker. I'm planning on running this afternoon, assuming that Melanie is feeling a little better, or tonight when Brandon gets home from work. If I don't... I need one of you to kick me in the rear! (That's a joke Burt...)

***ADDED well... I didm't go. Melanie was miserably sick all day. It was awful. When Brandon got home, he brought pouring rain, so we all stayed in, read children's books, and finished sewing christmas presents (I prefer handmade gifts, don't you?) Melanie's fever was gone this morning, so hopefully she is all better.

I am a selfish Mom in that sometimes I LOVE it when my kids are just a tiny bit sick ... not as sick as your baby, but just enough that they want to snuggle all day. I'll take snuggling any day over running!! They grow up way too fast. Tried to snuggle with my oldest daughter the other day when she was sick ... she mostly just wanted me to rub her back and play with her hair. That was fun too! Enjoy the snuggling! Worry about the running later.

Enjoy your sick day and I hope she feels better soon! Poor thing has been sick a bunch lately. Babies, I tell ya!

Good luck on that run later, you will get 'er done!

Teena and Kelli - Thank you for the well wishes for Melanie. Her fever finally broke and I think she is feeling much better. I'd like to think her new desire to through mini temper tangents is due to the illness... but it's more likely that it's because she is no longer my little baby, but my little toddler... with a firery additude to make her red hair.

Burt - whatever!
