Plugging away at it...

That's kinda how I feel today and actually how I have felt all week.

Today was among my more productive days of the week and I am hoping that I will keep that train rolling into tomorrow.  I started the day a little late because I had a rough night sleep.  The peanut was in bed with me all feverish and sick :( so I kept waking up all night to either check on her or because she was moving around.  She has been running a temp for the past two days in the 101 - 102 range.  Really no other symptoms besides the fever and a slight scratchy throat and sniffles.  If she has a fever again tomorrow I am going to call the Dr. 

She has been such a sweetheart through it all.  Frankly, she is putting me to shame with how good her behavior is.  If I had a fever in the 100's I would pretty much make the world stop in this house and I would be soooooo whiny and needy.  Not Julia.  She has been a sweet little dream with her tired  pale face and delicate little feverish body.  Today my heart literally hurts with love for her.

Even though the peanut was not in tip-top shape I did manage to get a ton done around the house.  I am hoping to really bring my susie homemaker skills to the table the next couple of months.  The last thing that I want is for Dean to come home after an incredibly stressful work week to a messy house and piles of laundry.  Last week I was not able to get all that I wanted done because I was too busy being sick and glued into my bed.

There was LOTS of cleaning and throwing away and getting stuff ready for goodwill.  I also managed to get to the grocery store.  This HAD to be done.  We were literally out of everything....and I mean everything. 

Hopefully late tomorrow night when Dean arrives home I will have created a little sanctuary for him to relax and refuel and get ready to fly out again on Sunday.  I am thinking a crockpot meal.  I have the stuff for either a pork roast with the traditional carrots, potatoes and onions with cream of mushroom soup OR hungarian goulash.  Not sure which one yet.  I will let you know how it goes though.

I am off to lurk on Facebook for a bit and watch part one of Top Chef - GO FABIO!!!!!!
