Liza and I finally get back to a room and she wants to lay down on the bed so I give her my hooter hider to use as a pillow. The nurse gave her a paper-type blanket and Eliza lights up and says, "This is the best day EVER!" I started laughing so hard. Here she is sicker than a dog, with a crazy high fever, she's been sitting in a furnace all day, and then she has just been stuck in the waiting room forever, but somehow today made it to the top of her list. Not my favorite day by ANY means, but hey, give a kid a giant paper towel and you've made their day! It turns out she does have strep and the doctor told me not to let her have any solid foods until the swelling in her tonsils goes down. She gets to have things like pudding, jello, yogurt, applesauce, etc. She thinks that is so great.
We start heading home since it will take a good 2 hours for her prescription to be filled at Walmart. We get home and the A/C guys still haven't shown up and the house is at 93. I have documentation below to prove it. Tanner was starving so I run to put something away in my room before I feed him. As I walk past the girls bedroom I see Nathan and Kate playing together with the tea set. They are both soaked and so are the bedroom, hall, and bathroom floors. I called Nathaniel to have him help me and then I look to see Nathan go to the bathroom for a refill...FROM THE TOILET!!! So not only was it soaked, but everything needed to be sanitized. Nathaniel took over that project while I fed the baby. It was frustrating and yet humorous and the same time. It would have just been hilarious if it was someone else's kids. I guess strep isn't the only thing I have to worry about the kids getting now. Lucky me! Then, since the kids were naked I told Kate to go get dressed. I was going to get clothes for Nathan in a few minutes, but he came out holding a pink shirt. He got it on all by himself and was so proud. Kate says to him, "Nathan, let me show you where my pants are." He came out wearing the outfit below. I thought it was SO funny. Nathaniel not so much. The A/C guy of course, showed up before we could change him and Nathaniel was very embarrassed. The problem with the A/C was so frustrating. They had come 2 weeks ago and put freon in since it was low. Well, he put in too much and that was the problem today. So, they took out 1/2 a pound and now I get to call and talk to Scott tomorrow about that issue.
Later, Kate, Tanner, and I went to Walmart to pick up the prescription and before we had even pulled out of the driveway Kate says, "Mom, can you get me a blanket?" Seriously?!? It is blazin' hot in the house, outside, and even worse in the car (for the first few minutes anyway). What a joke!
I had put Eliza in the recliner in the family room by herself with the gate up so the other kids couldn't join her. I want to keep this as contained as possible. I told Nathan and Kate that Eliza needs to be alone until she is better. Eliza says, "This is the best weekday ever! I get to be all by myself!" It was so funny because when we showed up at the doctor's office Eliza said, "Mommy, I miss Daddy and Nathan. It's not the same without them. I like it better when they are here instead of just you and me." I told her I like it when we all get to be together too. That's why it is so great that Daddy and I got married in the temple so we can be together forever and that makes me happy. So even though it was a hard, HOT day, there were still a few highlights I enjoyed.
He's going to hate me for this when he's older. Like I said, he needs his baby brother to grow up and bail him out of the dress up and girly things. 
Breezer and Matt, this picture is for you. Doesn't it just make you sick?
