Today was the 1st day of school for the kids.
Hailey was up at 6:00am on the dot which means so was I.
I spent half the night in the ER with Avary trying to get her fever under 103.5. It had been that high with Motrin and Tylenol and cool showers for over 24 hours. Her heart rate was way too high and she was dehydrated Poor thing was so lethargic. I never like going to the ER, but there is one urgent care here and they don't take our insurance and I couldn't get her into a Dr. being new to town. Apparently those things take time. All I needed was to get her fever down and I didn't want her to miss the first week of school. It took high doses and a long time to get her heart rate down and fever to break 103. When we got home she was exhausted, but so excited to start school that she wanted a prayer asking for her fever to just go away so she could go to school. I was thinking, it's possible but pretty unlikely. We said a prayer and her fever didn't come back. She woke up so ready to go! Not exactly how I wanted to spend our night before school started.
not our best 1st day of school picture
The day went pretty fast. Hazel and I ran a ton of errands. I have noticed if there is much noise she quits talking and starts screaming instead because she talked ALL day long until we went to get the kids.
It's nice walking to school, but it is still hot out. And waiting for Hailey for 45 min. outside in the sun isn't really going to work. We will have to work something out. By the time we got home everyone was so cranky and hot. And I guess Jr. High automatically comes with attitude, who knew?
Overall I think they had a good day, but I am ready for it to be over. We haven't even had dinner yet.
