First Rachel had a cold. Then I caught it. I'm still getting over it, but this afternoon I started wondering if Rebecca was sick. I had to wake her up from her nap in order to go get Rachel from the bus stop, and she was really lethargic for the next hour or so. She finally perked up and acted pretty normal during and after dinner, but about an hour before bed she was on my lap, rubbing her eyes, digging her head into my shoulder, whining that no, she wasn't "sweepy." She felt a little warm. She continued to sit quietly with me for a long time, which is very unlike her. She loves to sit with me, but only for a few minutes at a time, and then she's down running around again.
Before bed I took her temp. Slight fever. I tried to put her right to bed after giving her some medicine, but she said she wanted a story (our usual ritual). I started the story, but she spent the whole time with her head laying down on my chest, not even looking at the book. Not normal Rebecca at all.
Hopefully it's quick, but that's not usually the case with my kids. And this is something different than Rachel and I had (she's not congested, and neither Rachel or I had a fever), so anyone could catch it.... Ugh. This next week is the busiest of this whole busy month. This could throw a wrench in things.....
