Sickness and Flying Solo

Well the flu bug has hit the Myers household in full force. Geoff (the only one in the family to not receive a flu shot this year) is bed bound. I think he started getting sick on Tuesday and by Friday had a high fever and had to stay in bed. Kelly V--no worries, I had him sequestered and locked in the bedroom when Brayden was over playing!! Mommy has had to fly solo and take up a new residence in our guest bedroom.

The saddest part of the whole sickness is that Molly and Geoff were supposed to go to Brazos Christian School's Daddy/Daughter dance on Saturday night. She has been so excited about this date with her daddy. Geoff thought he could recover enough to take her for a while, so I picked up her corsage and his boutonniere.

We curled her hair...but then the news was no good. Still a fever, so no dance. She took it like a trooper and she and Daddy have a date for later this week to Fish Daddy's.

Doesn't she look precious...this isn't what she was going to wear to the dance,but this is after we fixed her hair!

Since we are stuck at home (the girls have colds) I decided to give this potty training a one day experiment. Ally is in her big girl Elmo panties for the day. This is what I did with Molly to finally have her potty trained. We are up in the playroom and I hauled the Baby Bjorn potty seat up here with us so we'll see what she does!! She'll either go in the potty or all over herself....I'll keep you posted!!

I cannot even handle it...those girls of yours ADORABLE!!! I am so sorry about the flu bug. Is there any way you can get a nap today?? Wish I was there to help.

Wow, I am sorry he was so sick and they had to miss the dance. You didn't look frazzled or anything on Friday, way to go! You are awesome, sorry you had to watch Brayden while dealing with all that. Although, he has talked non-stop since then about it. He loves Molly! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you coming to my rescue!!!

Oh, and Brayden did have a flu shot in October.

I am so sorry that they missed the dance. I still remember your pictures from your blog last year. Molly looks so grown up and is such a pretty girl.

Good luck with the potty training!

Molly looks precious with her hair curled (not that she doesn't look precious everyday). Sorry Geoff is sick. Good luck with the potty training. I remember it was fun with Molly. Hang in there and see you soon!

Will Ally be in preschool next year? Amanda told E that she couldn't be in Ms. Jamee's class if she didn't go in the potty! I don't know if it has taken yet....
