Sick Kids and Tired Grandma

Wow! I got my daughter's kids, Rebecca, 8, and Nicholas, 2, Friday and all day Saturday. Friday night I thought Rebecca felt awfully hot so I took her temp. It was 103.3. I gave her tylenol and the next morning it was normal. Then close to time to take her home, it started going back up. She didn't get to go trick or treating that night. But her mom treated her to a cookout of hotdags and s'mores and rented the Garfield movie for her. She was better Sunday morning, so she got to go trick or treating Sunday night. Nicholas got smart when he realized people were putting candy in his bag. When it started getting heavy, his mom asked him if he wanted her or his dad to carry it, and he said "NO!! MINE!!!" Such a smart boy! When they got back home though, Rebecca's temp was 102. After they went home Saturday, my son and daughter-in-law brought over their 2 kids, Billy, 2, and Shelly, 8 mos. Billy is Papaw's boy while Shelly is MeMe's girl. Shelly had a runny nose and a cough which she had medicine for. Sunday she started running a fever. It was 100.1 under her arm which made it 101.1 really. I could tell she felt bad because she was real fussy, wanting to be held all the time and only slept in 15 minute intervals. And I can't stand to see babies cry so you know what I was doing all day Sunday. I was holding her. She's supposed to go back to the dr. today, so we'll see what he says. He'll probably say the same thing he always says: "It's a viral infection". He never even draws blood. My poor babies! Billy was crying when they left. He hates to leave his Papaw.
Oh! I asked my friend Mary if she knew where I could get a sidekick pager cheap and she referred me to a website. I ordered one and I can't wait til it gets here! Of course she'll have to teach me how to use it. I can't follow written instructions and I'm computer illiterate. I've wanted one for so long, and now I'm finally getting one! I'm so happy! My son wanted to know why I wanted a pager when I had a cell phone. I told him I couldn't call deaf people on a cell phone, and he said "sure you could but it would be cruel". Leave it to him! Thank you Mary so much for telling me where to look. You'll be the first person I page. Then after a while, you'll be sorry you told me where to look.
I have to go back to work tonight, but then I'm off 4 nights. I usually get to make my own schedule. As soon as they find out I enjoy the days I have off, they'll probably change my schedule. I want to work 3, off 1, work 3, and off 7. Maybe I'll get it like that. I hope so anyway. I go part time in January, so I need to have some time off to do things I want to do before school starts.
I went to Pigeon Forge a couple of weeks ago. I bought a cd that has the vocals removed and I'm gonna learn it and TRY to sing it in church sometime. The only time they ask me to sing is when they want a good laugh. As you can guess, I can't sing. But I sure like to pretend I can. Well, gonna go now but watch out! I'm back and in a writing mood! I won't be posting tomorrow because of work (I'll be sleeping), but I probably will the next day. So until then, later...
