*Yawn* I'm sleepy. It's only 6 in the evening but I could do with a nap. The kidlet and I had LOTR day and watched Fellowship and Two Towers back to back. Good way to kill a day :) Can't wait to be able to watch all three back to back. Anyway, we picked a good day to do it as well, since it rained most of the day. Finally. I love it when it rains and it doesn't do it nearly enough here for my tastes.

I think the munchkin's coming down with a cold which is kind of sucky. She wants to try for perfect attendance at school (my little nerd :D) this year so I'm keeping her medicated and tucked up in bed to try and head whatever she's got off at the pass. Nebraska's been hit bad with West Nile Virus this year and my county, I believe, has the highest number of cases of it. The other day I noticed a bite on her arm but we couldn't decide if it was a spider bite or mosquito bite. Now she's stuffed up and slightly feverish. Oh dear oh dear...

When she was one, she came down with pneumonia and had to be in hospital for a few days with an IV and spent most of her time in a plastic tent that spurted mist all over her. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to go through with her. I was a new mom watching my little girl lay listlessly in the tent with an IV sticking out of her. I felt helpless because she couldn't understand why she had to stay in there. Anyway, I'd hate for her to have to go back into the hospital because of this west nile thing. Poor kid.

She's dozing right now. I think I'll go check on her.
