Christmas Fever
24. December 2009 by Lindy.
Merry Christmas Eve! Christmas came quick this year. We had a great time last weekend seeing my dad’s side of the family Friday night and my mom’s side of the family Saturday.
Yesterday was a chaotic day. Dusty and I started coming down with colds Monday night so neither of us felt good yesterday morning. Brooklyn woke up with a fever and wasn’t feeling well so she was laying on the couch. Dusty was drinking coffee and Samantha and I were sitting in the living room too (Max was still sleeping - it was 7 a.m.). Without warning, Brooklyn vomitted all over the couch. I must say that Dusty’s response time has improved greatly compared to a month ago. Kudos Dusty! While he was getting her to the bathroom I started cleaning up the couch and surrounding area. In the chaos of the moment, Dusty didn’t pay attention to where he put his coffee. Samantha decided that Dusty’s full cup of coffee looked pretty neat so she thought she would spill it all over the floor. Not in one spot - that would make it easier to clean. She made a drizzle pattern with big blotches on the carpet. I’m still trying to get it out. Fortunately she didn’t burn herself. Does anyone have tips for getting coffee stains out of carpet? I’ve tried the Bissell stain remover machine. Hot Shot or Hot Spot (I can’t remember what it’s called). I even went to GoodHousekeeping.com and used the Heloise Helpful tip of dish soap and vinegar mixed with water. Not a helpful tip. Nothing is getting it out.
We were hoping Brooklyn would wake up today feeling great, but that wasn’t the case. She’s a little better and will hopefully be back to her bubbly self tomorrow. We have two Christmas parties tomorrow. We missed Thanksgiving with the VerBeek’s because the kids were sick. We aren’t going to miss Christmas too.
Radiation is going well. Aside from being extremely tired and fighting a cold/flu bug, I haven’t had any other side effects (no skin reaction!). They did warn me that I’m very susceptible to catching illnesses right now so I should be more diligent with the hand sanitizer.
Max and Samantha both have coughs and runny noses. Max is getting two molars. Other than that, they’re doing great.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. As Brooklyn likes to say - Happy Birthday Jesus!
