Murphy's Law

Well, wouldn't you know it? Just when I was beating myself up because I had not trained much, something happened that prevented me from training at all.

One of the twins, Braden, became ill Tuesday afternoon. I got a call from daycare around 5 (I am across the street from them and usually leave the office @ 5:30) . They said he had a fever and was just not acting like himself.

I picked him up and he was burning up. Poor baby. He is usually very active, and he was hardly moving. I started to freak out, called the after hr. clinic, called my husband. Long story short, got home around 8 PM with a very cranky baby. His fever kept going up all night, as soon as the medicine wore off. 103 fever on a baby scares me to death, so I hardly slept. The dr. at the after hr clinic gave me antibiotics, but for the past 3 days, his fever has stayed high.

So I had to take him back to the dr. today. They checked his blood to see if it's viral or bacterial infection. It's a virus, so needless to say, the antibiotics are not going to work. bah. The poor thing, when his fever goes up, he starts calling for me "mama, mama". Breaks my heart.

So I've spent the past 3 days with a sick baby, and a very healthy one. Cade has been acting up, I guess since he gets to have the spotlight all to himself while Braden is sick. So I've been quiet busy, and "rusting".

I'm going to do the 6 miles tomorrow, and I'll attempt to do some sort of interval. We'll see how it goes.
I was bummed out I didn't get to do much this week. It is out of my hands though, I can't control when my kids will get sick anymore than I can control the weather. This week is over, and I just need to look ahead and complete my training in all the weeks to come.

See you tomorrow!
