Today did not go as planned from sun up to sun down. Instead of getting ready for my second boot camp class and perhaps being more in pain than ever before, I was carting children around and one in particular back and forth to the doctor's office. Caroline has scarlet fever.
The mention of scarlet fever seems so Victorian or early 20th century at the very least. I was even tempted to ask if we were going to be quarantined. Funny, how years ago, the entire family would have been sealed into the house, battling the life threatening disease, that now is just treated with a bit of penisilian and a smile.
I was convinced that she would miss at least the rest of the week of school, but the doctor told me that she can return tomorrow. So hopefully, Friday, though always crazy, will be a little easier without having to juggle a scarlet child, as well as, the usual appointments for my son.
Today was an emotional day for me for other reasons, but ended after a two hour nap on a nice note. Dinner alone with my husband. It was not fancy food, but it was nice to just relax alone.
