So we are supposed to leave on Friday for Ky to go visit the in laws and my future stepdaughter...who I love to death! And wouldn't you know my DD comes back from her dad's house this weekend with a runny nose and sneezing and coughing.

Well at 4 AM this morning I get a wake up call from the 4 yr old in my bedroom screaming at me that her tummy hurts. So I get up and check her out. Sure enough she has a fever and a runny nose and coughy achey stuffy head sore throat sneezing and overall yuckiness that if she were older would warrant cracking open a bottle of nyquil. But seeing as she is 4, we are limited to children's tylenol and children's sudafed.

Which leaves her wide awake and we have been on the sofa watching movies since 5 this morning. Suspecting she has the flu I really don't think I will be putting her in a car for a 6 hour trip on Friday. I am taking her into her Ped tomorrow morning just be safe I finally got her fever down.

Now the fiance is mad at me because I don't think her and I are going which means he is making the trip alone and will be gone for a week. Like I went out and searched for sick kids to let her play with so I can get out of going to KY!!

I give up. I am tired I am achey and I think I am catching whatever she has. (it's mommy syndrome) we can't stand for our kids to be miserable alone.
