Time Out!

Time out for Tatum was the logo. She ran for Delegate this past week. We had fun making posters, fliers and a speech to go along with it. She spent hours on her posters which turned out super cute. She put her picture in the middle of the poster and designed it to look like a watch. She thought up her own speech. I was lucky enough to go and watch her taped speech. She did a fabulous job! She was energetic and just looked super cute. I was proud of her. I guess all the poster, speech making was worth it because she WON! Yeah for Tatum/Delegate...
a person appointed or elected to represent others .

fever, fever, fever

100, 101, 102, 103, 100 etc..We have had a long week with fevers, coughs, sniffles, stuffles. (just made up that word).and more fevers! Savannah has been my most healthy child up until last week. I can count on one had the number of times she has ever been sick, had a fever, or even been to the Doctor. Last week was not the case. She came down with a fever I couldn't get rid of. Every 6 hours on the dot giving her Motrin, cold baths, and a cold cloth on her head. I was still having a hard time getting rid of her FEVER! She was miserable to say the least. A few nights ago I heard our dog howling and howling. I finally got up to see what was wrong. She was sitting outside Savannah's bedroom window. I checked Savannah's head and she was burning up in her bed with a 103 fever! What! I grabbed her up and put her in the bath and gave he more Motrin that had worn off during the night. Can dogs sense this kind of thing or was it a fluke? I don't know. After that Roxy settled down, and I was able to get her fever in control. I told her about Roxy and she immediately said my dog is a hero! It was the first smile I have seen on her face all week. Made me smile too. She has been feeling better, and is back at school. She missed school terribly which is another post. I guess you could say nooo home schooling in the future for her.
