Benton has been sick for about two weeks. First we had the extra poopy boy from the 5th through till the 11th. Things got better for a day or so and then he spiked a fever on the 14th that we took a while to get under control until the evening of the 15th. I spent a good chunk of time just holding him snuggled up on my chest and reading a book in between doses of tylenol and getting him to drink. He was not wanting to eat much but finally was looking normalish on Sunday AM so he ate a huge breakfast and then had a good time running around with people at the house meeting. Monday he was good with some tireds and now we have a cough that is bringing up the crud. On Sunday I came down with the crud and then on monday night mel started to feel its effects. Sighs.
I would have stayed home from work on Monday but I had training I could not miss. Got home with a very tired and cranky boy last night and I made the executive decision for the family that the Kemp boys were staying home. Mel was carving on the thrones in the shop and was shaking slightly from the effort. Yeah, no good. I changed clothes to medieval and headed out to the park to take care of some business.
The park was in full set up mode when I got there and I handled all of my business pretty quickly which was good. I was beat and regretting not taking any more meds before I headed out. The only issue was the lights and that will be taken care of by me on Friday. They aren't working right and thank goodness the dog folks showed up to help out.
I got burger dinner while court was going on and the awards made me very happy. Yay for Ute and Magnus getting the Cygils! Yay!!!! That story goes to show that first impressions and courtesy are always a good thing. Tom's handling of it was brilliant and made me very happy. As court went on I was feeling worse and worse so I made my good byes when it ended and then left. Got home and realized we still need to replace the front porch bulb and then noticed that the UPS truck had dropped off Borderlands 2 on our doorstep just after I left. Seriously, why did it take 12 hours since it got on the truck to get to our house? Never seen that from them. Weird. Anyhoo. Got in and mel was making tea and then we settled in to watch him play the game while I crocheted on a baby blanket.
It was a nice evening when I got home and could relax and not really concentrate. The game is faboo though I really like the music on the original game better. This one lacks some good bass beats and a catchy phrasing..its good but not like the first game. The bad guys are smarter and harder to kill but the game play is pretty. Plus the inside jokes are hilarious as always.
Today is Wednesday and I'll be heading to knit night to relax and spend time with folks. I will make sure to set space for BFF to sit. I need to sit and relax and finish the last of the pieces for this blanket so I can sew it all together.

msaimeesue's laurel scroll...its turning out awesome. I'm serious...its really cool. The Thyra's is coming along well too just not to the painting stage. Its so different in style from Elsa's that I know much of us are going to be having to be careful of the style differences. I luv working with the girls...seriously makes me happy. I sat alone painting on Sunday and it was not the same at all. I had to have mel sit with me on Sunday night when I put a few hours in cause I needed the company. I may have to do the coffee table work in front of the tv for myself tomorrow and the weekend. We shall see.
