Stir crazy

I haven't been watching a couple of the kids I normally watch because their dad's company has been on strike. They came back Monday and then the youngest ended up with hand foot mouth. I sterilized the toys in hopes Becca would not get it. She ended up with a fever the next day and complaining of her mouth hurting. Evidently, HFM is something you have to ride out..it's a virus. So I didn't think much of taking her to the doctor until today. She still said her mouth hurt but she didn't have any rashes or mouth ulcers. She actually had strep which I'm now sorry I let it go a few days but at least we figured out the problem and she's got antibiotics. I've already been staying in to keep from spreading HFM and now Darren went out of town last night and won't be back until Monday night. I am stuck in the house with no interaction and going a little crazy. I told Darren he would probably get sick of me pretty quickly when he got back because I'm going to be needing to get out. I am leaving for out of town for 2-3 weeks next Friday so if Becca had to get sick, I suppose this was the best weekend for it. I'm going driving to Iowa with Becca for Darren's niece's wedding; he can't go because it's a holiday weekend. Then, Becca and I are driving to OK to spend time with my family, meet my new nephew and celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday! I'll have all the getting out of the house I can stand by then.
