Poor Adam!

We had quite an eventful week. It started last Saturday - a week ago - with Adam playing with some rocks on the patio and he ended up banging his pinky with a rock. It wasn't pretty, but seemed to me like a typically little boy injury. I didn't think about it at all, until Thursday.

Thursday morning Adam woke up and told me "My mouth hurts mommy." He felt a little warm, but I chalked it up to the slightly infected cut on his pinky and the sore mouth, well he probably slept with his mouth open. We got ready, dropped Adam off at Daycare and I headed off to work. I made it about a 1/2 mile before "mom instinct" kicked in and I pulled a U-ie and picked Adam up and headed to Urgent Care.

Turns out, Adam has strep throat (poor kid) and, since we were there, I had the doc take a peek at the finger....BROKEN! Who woulda thought! So Adam's on 10 days of antibiotics for the strep and to help avoid a bone infection in his finger - and he gets to wear a Bobafett (aka: Splint) on his finger for a week too to help it heal.

Family Update

Well, the joys of winter are settling in at the Krueger house. Poor Adam has had a cough and runny nose for over a month. I suppose all the floating germs at day care just help keep it around. This weekend I came down with a nasty case of the 24 hour flu - which (like always) means Mike is home sick fighting his own bug. I have my fingers crossed that Adam will escape this round...it's a bad time of the year to have to stay home sick with him.

In fact, I can't really stay home sick right now for any reason; regardless of how I'm feeling. besides all of the end of the year wrap up we have to do, I applied for a new position at LLS. It's a waiting game right now, an interview will happen later this week, more of a formality...and then a decision will be made to hire me, or look outside the organization. I have a good feeling about it, but it could just be my desire for the new position that makes me feel that way. I keep reminding myself that I have nothing to lose, so even if I don't get the job, at least I'm lucky enough to have one. So wish me luck and cross those fingers!

Prior to the flu-bug that visitied this weekend, I had my annual holiday baking party! The girls who were able to make it and I had a blast. We enjoyed lots of treats, a fun gift exchange (That's what she said!) and the entertainment of "The Crooked Christmas Tree." Not to mention way too many goodies to eat this month!

Adam has been enjoying his Christmas Countdown routine. It involves an advent calendar (where he gets too look for the next number every day) and a really adorable snowman counter that my grandma got me last year. According to last night's count - only 18 days to go! Are you done with your shopping?
