Miserable...

Yep, in a nut shell, that pretty much describes my day yesterday. When I woke up, I felt terrible, and within minutes of my feet hitting the floor, I quickly figured out that I had a case of flu. UUUUGH! It was so bad that I had to call Matt at work to come home and take the kids. So while he spent the day playing with Katherine and Caleb, I didn't leave the bed. They had a wonderful day -- he took them out for lunch, shopping and to the mall play area. After they came home and took naps, the three of them went out for dinner and played outside with all of the neighbors, and once again, I was stuck inside, barely able to move.

They had a great day, and my day -- well it was MISERABLE!! The worst thing was that I really felt as though I was missing out on the fun. I felt left out! And the control freak in me *hates* that! LOL. As I was laying in bed, I could hear everyone outside playing and laughing, and there was nothing more I wanted than to be out with them! Spending the entire day holed up in the house is not my idea of a good time, no matter how sick I was!

Since I was feeling better this morning, I decided to take the kids to the Science Center. It was BOILING HOT outside, and I thought that since I was still on the mend, an air conditioned activity was our best option! So I called Michelle (her son, Nicholas, is Katherine's friend from preschool) and we all made the road trip down town. It was the perfect opportunity for the kids to run around and explore everything from Bubble Bay to the Sky Dome, see the Cold Blooded Reptiles demonstration and participate in the Kitchen Chemistry program. And since I'm still not on top of my game, I didn't have to melt outside!! It was the perfect day! LOL.

Later that morning, we ran into Carolyn, Allison and Claire, which Katherine was *thrilled* about. So not only did she get to play with one friend, but two friends. What could be better??? In the world of a 4 year old... not much!
