We were all set to go to our friend's church today, but Isabella got sick late yesterday. We were up almost the entire night with her. She's been miserable with a headache and fever, complains of weird things like her eyes hurting and her tummy hurting. She's been restless and hasn't really wanted to be held (except by her daddy when she does). She's thrown-up a couple of times (I think from her head hurting?) I teeter-totter on whether or not to take her to Urgent Care since it's the weekend and we don't yet have a pediatrician of our own. Just when we were getting ready to take her, she seemed to be doing well. It's all so confusing to know what to do. Do we wait to see how she's doing?
Liam had 5th Disease (I think) last week and was very restless when he had a fever. Then the rash on his face appeared and he was better. I thought that's what was happening with Isabella too. But then the other symptoms like her head hurting made me wonder. Of course, you're always scared thinking of meningitis. But she wanted the light on over her head in the middle of the night (wouldn't let me turn it off), when we were up with her. So that makes me think that's out as a possibility.
It's kind of a stressful weekend with Isabella not feeling well (and me worrying about her) and needing to buy a car a.s.a.p. among other things. The van we are using is borrowed until the end of next week. There's a possibility to buy a van (Honda Odyssey) at a good price (older but with under 100,000 miles and only one owner). Edilberto may have to go look at it today or tomorrow because it will probably sell quickly.
Anyone know anything about the Odyssey?

hello there,
i read your comment on snickollet's blog about the grieving for her recent loss of her husband. your comment about losing your dad really hit me...about how the grief catches you off guard, in things you wouldnt expect.
i have spent the last 2 or so days with tears welling up for the following:
i have to get a new cell phone and i dont want to. my dad's photo is on there, it was the second pic i ever took with the phone when it was new, and the photo is the last of my dad i have. (i KNOW, rationally, i can email the photo to the new phone. but thats not the issue. its getting rid of something that i did WITH my dad. it just set me off into this sadness...and so i took myself out of the store and into my car and cried my eyes out)
the second thing is... i have a very precious person in my life, who i met about 10 months before my dad died (when he was getting really sick and when his wife was getting more and more hateful) this friend saved my life and my heart from hatefulness and bitterness... he was such an angel to me. and my dad and he shared a bond of being Marines. my dad always wanted to meet my friend, and vice versa. and i was scheduled to finally meet my friend yesterday for lunch. it made me so sad, that my dad wouldnt even be there for us to call from the restaurant. the grief in the midst of being excited to sit across a table and talk with my angel without typing was eclipsed my missing my dad.
its going to be 18 months this coming week. and these last two days knocked me for a loop.
*sigh*
i hope you dont mind my sharing... your thoughts really helped, knowing i am not the only daughter missing her dad so much at randmom times!
god bless you & your family!
(i'll be back to read your blog)

Gypsygrrl - Thank you for visiting my site. I am sorry about you losing your father as well. It sounds like you two were very close. I visited your blog. Nice pic. of you and your angel Marine friend :)! How nice that you could finally meet face-to-face.
I can understand your feelings and how those situations could have sparked the grief. It's good that you could cry when you needed to. I've been thinking about my dad a lot lately for some reason. It will be two years in August since we lost him. It doesn't seem possible that it's that long already.
Sending you big hugs from Florida!
