Sick

We were just sick over the Cardinal's loss last night, but I'll let Jeff be the one to post about that one. And speaking of being sick...

The girls were both home sick today.
I wanted to get a snapshop of them enjoying their day off,
oh, I mean "sick day", playing their DS's.

We went to the doctor's office this morning and Riley has walking pneumonia and Hannah may have strep. Except, Riley's throat hurts, too, so she may have both! We are waiting for the results from the doctor to see about the strep.

But the good news is that they both will probably be able to go to school tomorrow if their fevers stay below 100 degrees & Riley's antibiotic kicks in. Yeah for me! Actually, I didn't mind having them home. They kept Ian and I company and I even made them put their clean clothes away, so we got a few things accomplished.

Speaking of Ian, here's a picture of him shoveling our driveway last Thursday. Those snow drifts are bigger than he is!


Despite the fact that it is cold & wet outside
and will be that way for at least another 6 weeks,
it sure is pretty. Isn't it?

I love those sick days. They look so picked on. ;)

That snow, however -- Wow! It does look pretty - in pictures - especially knowing that it is far away.

It is beautiful! Those drifts will be there until May!

I hope the girls are feeling better soon!

I'm reading Melanie and Marianne and thinking : "How kind of them not to rub it in !"

(But, I'll bet one of them calls the other and says : "Heh, Heh !" ) ;o)

And as to the "Sick Sisters" ... Uh Huh ... play it, Girls.
Needing a bowl of Lipton's chicken noodle to round out the suffering.

I love the little man working so hard in this picture. Make sure and get a new quote from him soon.
Hope Riley and Hannah will be better soon!
