Spring break, no school for the kids. Mom and Dad were here this past week. I left work a little bit early Monday because I felt bad (couldn’t focus, feeling chilled) and on Tuesday I felt awful and called in to work. Mom and Dad got here Tuesday evening after the kids were in bed and I called in for Wednesday as well. I was sick basically the entire time they were here, and Alex was just getting over it. He had somehow gotten it into his head that Gramma and Grampa were going to take him to Tokens & Tickets, so on Wednesday they did. Alex loved it, especially the part where you shoot out the clown’s teeth (Beth said he was good at it). Thursday I was still off work sick. Mom and Dad took us all out to Schoop’s for dinner, and I thought I was doing better by evening, so I went in to work on Friday morning but went home by about 10:00, feeling awful again. I went to the doctor with Alex and we both got some medicine (he was basically fine, I was getting bronchitis). Then Mom and Dad and Beth took the kids to the mall in Fort Wayne to do some shopping while I stayed home. They went on to catch a plane to Laura’s from there. In the evening, Missy began running a fever.
