Sick kid

I talked to Stacey this afternoon while I was at work. Told her I'd like to ride the long way home from work tonight. She said Kelly (daycare) called and told her Mara was running a fever. I call Kelly at 4pm and ask how Mara is doing. She says Mara is feeling better. I say awesome and pass the news on to Stacey. I tell her that I'm going for a ride after work and will get home to mow the lawn. She says that's cool and that she is taking the girls to the mall. An hour later she calls me and tells me to get my ass home. Mara has a 103.5 degree temp. I head home, give Mara some Motrin, and send Stacey and Ellen out of the house. They leave and Mara and I have dinner. I have grilled pork patties and potatoes. Mara has yogurt and some toasted breakfast thingy. We're now in the basement where it's nice and cool watching Blue's Clues.
