***Sigh***

That about sums up how I'm feeling right now...What a day! Today was supposed to be this magical day of shopping with Brenda. We finally had a day off work for Veteran's Day, and Brenda and I planned to shop in Austin like we have the past 2 years, to kick off our Christmas shopping. When I got up, Mia had a fever, so she ended up going along (Marc had basketball practice, and she couldn 't go to daycare). She was a trooper though - very good for the most part while Brenda and I spent many hours (and dollars!!) shopping. When we got back, Mia seemed warmer than she had all day, and Brenda stayed while we took her temp... we stopped when the thermometer hit 104.1 (plus add the degree for under the arm.) So I got on the phone with the doctor and they said to just alternate tylenol and motrin all night, but take her in if her fever spiked again. I'll be home tomorrow with her for sure, and visiting the doctor to find out why Mia seems to have a fever every other week. I feel so bad for her! Meanwhile, our computer is broken, and we'll have to take that in, but luckily I have my school laptop to use. I went to get something out of the freezer earlier, and found popsicles dripping on me... and our freezer all warm. I called a repair man to come out, charge me $75, and tell me I need a new fridge. Awesome. Why couldn't it be the stove? We never use that anyhow!! Now tomorrow, I'll stay home from work to take Mia to the doctor, and get a new fridge. Oh, and tomorrow night is Marc's first game. On a good note, I had a very successful shopping day, especially at Toys R Us, and in trying to hide the gifts, I found my missing necklace that I've been searching for for over 2 months! I'm trying to find the silver lining in my day... Have a great week everyone. I am sure my week can only improve from here!
