One sick mommy

On Saturday, we enjoyed our brand new car.

First, we went to the market and picked up 40lbs of peaches to can.  Second, we dropped Jason off at his school so he could get organized.  During this time, Rachel and I slept in the car and then we went to the local Children's museum.  Adults and kids under 15months old are free.  This would be an awesome place for kids 2-8years old, but Rachel still enjoyed the train table and playing with other kids.  She waves hello to everyone and everything so she spent most of the time trying to wave to the other children and offering them her train, since she is learning to hold items out and offer them to anyone who will accept.

After we picked Jason up and had lunch at Tokyo Jo's, we ran some errands. This included a Costco trip that filled our new car up with all sorts of goodies and baking supplies.

When we got home, after Rachel went to bed, we attacked our office and unpacked books.  Many things were re-packed and destined for the crawl space since we don't have room for all our things.  So we organized the office into many piles.

Finally, it was time for bed.  Meggan wasn't feeling all that well so we went to bed relatively early.  At 11pm, she woke up and the illness had hit.  We won't share the gory details, except to say that Jason spent the night caring for Meggan first in the bedroom and later in the bathroom, and then we tried to get sleep on the bathroom floor in between bouts of being sick.  Thankfully, Rachel slept from 7:30pm until 4am and Jason was able to coax her back to sleep for another 90 minutes without any problems.  This was the best night of sleep for her in weeks, and the worst for us in months.

The hardest part about this whole thing was really Sunday.  Jason woke up with Rachel at her usual 5:30am wake up.  Meggan felt good enough to nurse her while lying in bed, which was good because in the moving process we have no milk frozen for such emergencies.  Jason then took care of Rachel for most tasks of the morning while Meggan rested.  Jason tried to convince the family to go for a walk, so we drove up the hill to a short trail head with a nice view, but Meggan slept in the car while Jason took Rachel in the backpack.  For Meggan, every movement of the head was a huge effort.  Jason went to the library for the afternoon because he had planning to do for school, so Meggan did her best to care for Rachel.  When Jason got home, he did dinner and then we all went to bed early.  Not a fun day in the MOJO family.

Each of us slept quite well overnight and hopefully now we're all good to go for the week!
