Up late with sick kids

Hate to see children suffering. Daught #1 (4 Years) running fever of 100; daughter #2 (4 months) congested and coughing. Shift change with wife at 2am.

Is it possible to be concerned/worriied and bored.at the same time? Both asleep right now, just watching them breath. Looking toward shift change at 8. Need coffee.

You're a good parent. Hope the babies get better really soon.

Do crossword puzzles maybe? Have some hot tea.

the Trekkie gene lives on!

Sodoku makes me crazy, but Jumble or crossword puzzles can keep me entertained and awake.

Not sure your time zone, but hope you're soon off duty and get some rest, and hope you wife slept well and the babes get better today.

<------------ 2 babies who feel better ( I'm old, so they're babies til they're twelve )


Edit to add: okay, I need coffee, obviously.

The Force lives on! Is that better? lol

My wife is as much a Sci Fi fan as I am.



She takes over in half an hour, then she's off to class at ten. So I have two hours to do some work.
