My intention Sunday was to blog about John's birthday. We went to my parents for the weekend. My parents watched the girls while John and I spent the entire morning, and part of the afternoon, at IKEA. We've been looking forward to going for a while and were very excited about getting to go by ourselves. We actually had lunch there, just us! The first meal together alone in years! It was wonderful. And yes, we did buy a few things and found some future purchases. John promised the girls we would take them back one day so they could have lunch there too (the meatballs were incredible!!!).
Of course, my Mom had to get John a couple of more gifts for his birthday (a sweater and a tombstone-to go with the other Halloween stuff from earlier). I think he enjoyed himself. I mean who wouldn't with birthday cake, apple pie, cookies, chicken and dumplings and of course the BBQ!
While my intention Sunday was to blog about all the exciting things that happened this weekend, Jesse starting getting sick Sunday afternoon. She really didn't feel great all day Sunday but it started hitting her hard late that afternoon. It has been a whirlwind of cleaning and laundry ever since to try to prevent the rest of us from getting it. I was worried a lot about myself there for a bit. The pooch has had her own problems and been waking me every hour to hour-and-a-half every night for about two weeks. Being tired and having the flu in the house is very worrisome. So far it has only inflicted Jesse. Poor baby! Her fever is down, but now she has a cough that I am listening to/for very carefully. I'm hoping the end is near, but only time will tell.
