No More Sick Child

Huzzah!!! Emma is well again!

On Friday, a full week after it made it's first appearance, Emma's fever left her. Thank, well, thank every diety you can think of. She's still got a bit of a cough, and is still sleeping a little more than usual, but she's feeling much better.

Too much, actually. Missing a week of school and not seeing anyone under the age of, well, 37, put her in quite a state. She drove the husband and myself absolutely mad this weekend. Lots of wanting to play and tons of sassy back-talk. Lordy! It's all understandable, of course. If I had been in bed for that long, I would have been out of control too. She went back to school today, and hopefully, got it all out of her system. Our house should return to normal.

Without a refrigerator. The fridge we bought about a year ago decided it just didn't want to keep anything cool anymore, dammit! It had worked hard enough over the past year, and is on strike. The freezer is fine, but the fridge is room-temperature, which is lovely, isn't it? Thank goodness we spent the extra dough and bought the 3 year warranty, which is very unlike us. We're usually pretty cheap about stuff like that. Darrel called Fry's (where we made the purchase) and they said it might be 48 hours before someone could get out to the house. So, we've got a cooler full of melting ice and souring milk in the kitchen. But the frozen corn is good to go!
