Monday Miscellany

want to know what will derail your weekend plans like no other?

a sick baby.

griff man started running a fever on friday, which only heightened on saturday. coupled with some extreme crankiness {so unlike him} we ended up heading to the walk in clinic, where we waited for two hours only to see the on call p.a. for 10 minutes. she proceeded to send us over to the e.r. so that he could get fluids because he wasn't drinking and hadn't had a wet diaper in almost four hours.

thankfully the e.r. wasn't busy and the doctor there said that griff was crying enough, his color was fine and he wasn't showing true signs of dehydration so we could hold off on the fluids. they "gave" us some {walmart brand} pedialyte for him to take and instructions to come back if he didn't get better.

{basically the fever was a virus they've seen going around that just has to run its course.}

cody and i are anxious to see how much that $5 walmart brand pedialtye will be on the bill.

my parents were already planning on staying with us saturday night on their way to a work conference, so knowing that griff was in good plans, we took advantage of a date night and headed to see gravity.

so. so. SO GOOD.

our theatre doesn't offer 3d, but this is definitely a movie that i think would be worth paying the extra money for. definitely one you want to put on your list to go see.

thankfully griff is feeling better this morning and is {fingers crossed} finally getting back into his napping schedule. poor guy basically cried through every nap we tried to get him to take this weekend, which certainly didn't help him get better any quicker. {plus, mama was exhausted and would like to take a nap too!}

we might spend all week catching up on sleep for the whole family.
