We brought in the 2008 with Kyra staying up super late, thanks to our lovely neighbors who think it's super great fun to shoot off fire works all night. Because of their generosity, everyone within a six mile radius was up through midnight willingly or not.
Though Kyra's staying up wasn't completely their fault. She's been hacking up some yummy phlegm since Saturday night and any cold medicine we give her makes her a little hyperactive and loopy. So we stuck her in bed, put in some Winnie the Pooh and Lion King and there she lay until 11:30.
At 11:59 and 52 seconds we turned on Dick Clarks New Year's Rockin' Eve to watch the ball drop.
At 12:15 Kyra was out like a light.
1:30 Kyra starts fussing and hacking up another lung. Cough syrup quickly follows.
3:12, 4:27, 5:07 Kyra cries, whines, fusses and is over all not a happy camper.
6:30 Kyra starts up once more. I pull her on top of me hoping I can rub her back to calm her down, except... well... she was scorching hot. Burning up.
6:45 Happy New Year honey, Kyra's running a 102.9 temperature. Now, will ya hop on down to the store and get something that covers both fever and coughing.
9:08 Kyra falls fast asleep on the couch watching America's Next Top Model reruns on VH1.
What a fabulous way to start off 2008.
How are you guys bringing in your new year? Making any resolutions? I'm jumping on Heather's band wagon and going resolution free this year.
Not that I've ever made a resolution in year's past, why start now?
my night.....was spent wrtiing lesson plans. Reading and hearing my husband complain about how crappy his friends are (something of course I already knew) So because he did nto really want to go anywhere and his stupid friends never came, I had a very, very boring new years. I hope Kyra feels better! And I am on the no resolution band wagon as well!
ReplyDeletei put Rachel to bed at about 10, Becca was napping on the couch and i watched tv (Jon and Kate + 8, thought you'd like to know). Sean came in from working on his car in the garage just in time to shower and we watched the last 20 seconds of the ball drop, kissed and headed to bed. too bad Becca decided that she wanted to wake up while i was in the shower and not go back to sleep until almost 2.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
Hope Kyra feels better soon!
I slept through the New Year, waking up every two hours to go to the bathroom. Seth dropped in on a buddy's party, but he was home from 10:30 on, playing computer games and making sure I was as comfortable as a woman who is seven months pregnant can be. My family was planning to see the New Year in with us, but Mom came down with the same bug Kyra has, so they booked it home early. Looks like 2008 isn't off to a very auspicious start.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, we did get the crib put together. Pictures will soon be appearing on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteJody and I were both asleep by 10pm, and we spent New Years Day stuck in my car driving back home from Tennessee. And once I got home, I cleaned. I think next year we should all resolve to start the year off on a better note.
