She got halfway up on her own this morning before she gave out. We got her up the rest of the way. Shot seems to have had a little effect but not enough. Calling the vet in an hour when they open up and going to ask for something called Draxxin. If I cannot get an antibiotic from the vet today, then I am falling back on the la200. Today she is getting just electrolytes and probiotics and lots of them. She drank 2 quarts of revilalite with a heavy dose of probiotics tossed in. Probably mid day she will get another. Not sure we can get a full bottle down her but we will give it a shot. Then maybe tonight she will get another half and half bottle. I hesitate to take away from her need for strength and building up and he need to stay super hydrated.
Of course since I got kids up early for chores right after a school break everyone is in a bit of a foul mood. The 2 oldest are fighting like little mad things as soon as they get up. My youngest DS is already dressed and off to school. He even had time to write his name and a little note to his teacher in a Christmas card. I thought that was very nice and he was so excited he did it. To make my week a bit easier I pre prepped school work for the week and its waiting for the kids. We are keeping it very basic the next 3 weeks. Just grammar, Math, Reading and writing. My son is doing some science too. We are trying to finish off our mathbooks by Christmas so that after Christmas break we can start new ones. Same with Grammar and Science. We are starting some new curriculum after Christmas but I want to finish up what I have also. Its a struggle finding something that works for us. DS is really advanced and its hard to challenge him. He can skate through everything I throw at him. DD is dyslexic and its a struggle. I have managed to keep her at grade level in reading. Her writing is ok. Her spelling is HORID though. Math is rough too. For whatever reason she still struggles with multiplication. However division is easy peasy. So now she is working on multiplication again and just doing it as the opposite of division. A bit convoluted but it seemed to help. A bit of an experiment for us but so far so good. Anywho this week they are each only working on 2 workbooks each and reading a big book and writing a book report. I probably will work out what they will do next week when I get some free time. I like to have a clean slate after Christmas break. A bit of a pain because we do need 2 sets of curriculum each year because we end up finishing early. Ah well.
I am working on Christmas cards for the nursing home today and ones for at church. Apparently being the Coordinator of our girls troop requires me to be social. Not my strong point but I am making the effort. The cards for the nursing home have to be done in 2 weeks and I need almost 200 of them. Our church has been so great about donating gifts to give to the seniors too. I put out a rubbermaid and they filled it several times over on the first Sunday alone and many said they still were working on gifts. So I think we will have issue having a gift for each resident.
Ok I feel way too productive, way too early. I have to go find some way to be useless for about 30 minutes. Is it wrong to want a nap at 7:30 in the morning?
