I listed some things on ebay this afternoon. (no, Adam, none of it is yours or anything you use or anything you will ever use!) Let's see if I can keep it down to checking ebay only 3 times a day to see if anyone has bidded on or is watching my stuff. Doubtful! I'm such a goon.
Alyssa update ~ she's on the mend! She was sporting a fever of between 100 and 103 all day yesterday, but this morning she was normal. I'm waiting for her to wake up from her nap (starting on hour 3 . . . ) so that I can check her again. I finally broke down and spend big money on an ear thermometer and I'm sooo glad I did. Not only is it fun to play with I don't have to physically restrain Alyssa to keep one under her arm for 5 minutes anymore. Okay, maybe it wasn't 5 minutes, but when you have a toddler that's trying to see what you're doing and doesn't want to keep her arm down, it feels like 5 minutes. And she's too old to have it taken the "UH OH" way ~ as witnessed by both Adam and I Sunday night. Poor thing was pretty much crawling around with a thermometer hanging out of her butt because I couldn't get her to lay still.

the "UH OH" way? I think I got a rectal temp taken until I was about 6 years old. Of course, they didn't have fancy thermometers that took temps out of any other oriface other than the mouth, and try getting a 5 year old to keep their mouth shut long enough to get an accurate reading.
Yeah, we struck out with the rectal method when Em was sick two weeks ago. I gave up. Even holding it in the armpit took FOREVER! I may have to break down and buy some other kind of thermometer. Very frustrating!
