Yesterday sucked

Yesterday was a terrible day. Rael had his 3rd birthday, but was too sick to do anything. I got him a donut for breakfast. It was all he ate.

Coming back from grabbing breakfast, I got into a collision with a little girl on a bike while pulling into my driveway. Her mother came running up from behind her, yelling that she told the girl to stop. The little girl, rather put upon by the intrusion of a car in her path quite huffily said that she wasn't able to stop on this bike. I was so shaken, it took several minutes for me to realize that the girl had hit me, and not the other way around.

Evan & I did have some fun time together playing Rock Band, though I will admit that I'm not the best vocalist. It was becoming seriously frustrating and un-fun when I was on medium, so I switched back to easy mode & did much much better.

Aeia was sad that she didn't get to have donuts for dinner, and complained that I gave her too much baked ziti even though she rather enjoys baked ziti.

Rael had a fever all day, and it got up to above 105, causing him to have a seizure. I called the ambulance & tried not to freak out too much. They couldn't find evidence of any bacterial infection, and his x-rays were clear as well, so they deemed it a virus. He had a chest x-ray. He's still not wanting to take any medication, but I can't give him a choice with such a high fever. I also need to hand him a cup with fluids whether he wants it or not. He generally drinks it when I hand it to him, no matter how much he didn't want it. I expect him to sleep lots more today.

He's currently watching a Sesame Street dinosaur show, and is rather overwhelmed by the attention of the baby. He just can't hand her reaching out to him today.

I'm hoping for no more adrenaline rushes today. I don't know if I'll be able to cope with another one.
