Birthday Blahs
Our poor seven year old is not having a good birthday. I was hoping yesterday's "incident" at school was exhaustion and too much excitement and sugar.
But, it is obviously a stomach bug.
She was up several times last night getting sick, and spent the rest of the time trying to sleep in our room.
I mulled over what to do with today, but the truth is, it is out of my hands. So, I decided...
1. not to make her cake. What good would it do anyway, she can't eat it and that is just torture.
2. go ahead and let Grandma & Grandpa come down to see her. She doesn't have a fever, and she had been waiting for this for days.
3. let her open her presents. Presents are better than pushing the celebration back completely.
4. try not to get upset over my baby missing out on her birthday.
Okay, the last one I can't exactly cross off the list. You know how much I love to celebrate my children in every way--and their birthdays are the biggest celebration since that is the day they made me a mommy!
I did take some pictures today, but I have deciding against posting them since she looks so rough.
And, we thank you all for the get well wishes you have sent via email and Facebook. And, of course you know we will have a very big celebration for our birthday girl as soon as she is better!
