Birthday or bust?

We celebrated my hubby's 30th birthday today. Well, sort of. Megan developed a high fever last night and still had it this morning and most of the day today. I woke up about 3 am and sat praying at the toilet, hoping not to lose all the yummy food I had consumed the day before. We had spent the day shopping out of town while the girls were at my in-laws and saw The X-Men III too! Woohoo, like a whole day's date. But we got back to the in-laws, had a good supper my sister-in-law fixed, visited with my brother and law and his wife for a little while there too, then back home, 2 hours away. Didn't get home until almost 11 pm, and Megan had the fever when we left. Anyway, back to the praying to the toilet.....didn't vomit, took a tiny bit of Pepto liquid, which almost made me puke, then ate some Pepto chewables, which went down much better. Then slept a little while longer, then up with trouble from the other end.

Despite all that, I cooked for hubby--grilled sausage, potatoes, baked beans, and ice cream cake. We enjoyed our meal and got through the day. Wish we could have had a better celebration, but at least we got a long date the day before :) If I don't post before our Florida trip, I'll make sure to post some pics and fill you in on our trip...hopefully I won't spend it praying at the hotel toilet.
