The girls are home! And it's about time. The problem is: Monica arrived with a horrible sore throat, and a fever. Kevin stopped at the Minute Clinic before he ever got them home, and she has strep. Oh joy.
The poor kid hurts so bad. This afternoon, her temperature was 103.8. She has antibiotic and numbing gargle stuff and Tylenol, so she'll be OK. Right know, though, that kid is SICK.
I went to Dad's today, so Natalie could visit (Monica is still contagious) and Natalie decided to stay for a while. I came home to do some more laundry, then went back to pick up a refrigerator (our back porch fridge died a week ago.) While we were there, Natalie decided that she wanted to spend the night with Aunt Rena.
We brought the fridge home and Natalie packed some clothes. Then, I took her out to drop her off. When I got home, Monica and I went out to the deck and lit the tiki torches. She had asked to, and the Tylenol had her feeling better.
We sat out there and visited for a while, and she even caught a couple of fireflies. When the skeeters started biting, we came in. She's going to bed soon, since she is starting to droop a bit. Tylenol can only do so much, you know?
My brother should be here soon. Well, not HERE, but at Mom's. We'll see them in the morning. Monica can't be there until afternoon, since she needs 24 hours on antibiotics before she can be around anyone.
This will be a whirlwind week. I have to fly to St. Louis on Monday afternoon, with the owner of the company. Dinner with a customer Monday, then I'll get a rental on Tuesday to drive around Illinois to see 2 other customers, then meet back up with the owner and the pilot to fly home on Tuesday evening. Then I'll work Wednesday and Thursday, then it's INDEPENDENCE DAY! Woo Hoo!
Three day weekends are ALWAYS a good idea, right?

Glad your girls are back. My own came back yesterday too (from FL). Wow, you will have a busy week. Hope Monica is much better soon.

This sounds like "On the Road again" instead of "Getting back to normal" lol. It's great that your brother is coming in, a guaranteed good time soon to be had. I hope Monica is much better by now. Vicki
Poor Monica......strep sucks. I used to get it ALL THE TIME as a kid. Every year, sometimes twice a year.
Where are you going in IL? Say hi to my people!
