Same Song, Second Verse

Well, it's been a rather sick week here at our house. Last Sunday Katelyn woke up sick with a fever. She didn't feel well Sunday or Monday. AND Robert was out of town Sunday - Wednesday for work! Luckily, it snowed and the girls were out of school so Katelyn had some extra time to recover before heading back to school on Thursday. All was well on Thursday. Then Friday morning Rachel woke up with a fever! She felt bad all yesterday and the first half of today. Rachel is not my napper. She hasn't taken a nap since she was like 3 years old!!! (That may be a little exaggeration, but you get the point - she is NOT a napper!). This morning while Robert was coaching Rachel's basketball team, I stayed home with Rachel. After she had been up for about an hour, she asked me to read to her in bed. Then she told me she just wanted to go to sleep! We napped for about an hour or so before she woke up. She would say she wanted to do something, like work on her homework, play a game, etc., but when she would sit up in bed, she would change her mind. She decided to lay down and listen to some stories on CD. Then she decided to just lay down and listen to some music. It wasn't long until she was asleep again! This time she slept for over 3 hours before I woke her up to check on her! So as of 3:00 this afternoon she had already napped for over 4 hours today!!! That's a lot for my girl who never naps!!! Anyway, she woke up and was able to eat a little lunch. Now she's working on her homework. She is flying through it! She is definitely feeling better - thank goodness!!!
