Crazy Happenings

What a week we've had, and it's only Thursday!
Monday night was crazy, with miss Molly vomiting (or "spitting up" as Sarah calls it) at least 7 times. Poor thing. I just hate it when they are sick like that. I don't mind if they tug at their ears, cry, fuss, sneeze, etc. I can usually figure out what is causing their pain and make it better. When it comes to actual vomit, I'm at a loss. I immediately freak out, wondering if they ate something bad, if it's more serious than that, or if it's simply the flu. I finally realized that my husband feels the same way because when I mentioned taking her to the ER, he actually agreed with me! He usually brushes my spaz attack off and tells me to wait, and he's always right. This time, there was no brushing off. So, I spent Monday night on the phone with my sister, a nurse at Fairview's Pediatric ER, debating whether or not to take Molly in. After giving her Motrin, and waiting it out for another half hour, she finally stopped throwing up! Probably because her poor little stomach was so empty. So then I freak out about dehydration! After another fifteen minutes or so, she was running around and giggling, so I guess she was feeling better! I'm glad I didn't rush her in, but I'm not gonna lie; next time this happens, I'll probably react in the EXACT same way!
My Sarah Rose, on the other hand, has been enthralled with Meme's stories of Wicked. Meme has this amazing book from the broadway play and has told Sarah the whole story. Sarah has since learned the words to all the songs, can tell me what happens during each song, and can act it all out. She's also taken the liberty of changing her sister's name to Elphaba (not sure if that's how it's spelled...maybe I should ask Sarah). She runs around the house calling Elphaba and reminding Daddy and I that her name is Glenda, not Ga LINDA. I hadn't realized how obsessed she had gotten until Tuesday when I opened her bookbag to find her art work from school not labeled with Sarah, but GLENDA! She even has her teachers in on her new name change!
So, that is a run down of this week. On my end, I'm feeling very productive this week, possibly because I had such a well-rested weekend last weekend! I'm even contemplating running another full marathon in October. Call me crazy...
