Day 2014. Emmy started having high fever during the night. He lay down next to me and woke up crying quite a bit. I had gone to bed at 2:30, and with Emmy crying so much, plus me not being well yet, I was really tired this morning and had a tough day not feeling well plus being tired.

Day 2013. This morning we had to get up early. Tammy had stayed in her own bed last night. Sammy was up early, as always, then waking up his brother. Tammy can sleep even with them making noise. Daddy then got up to make breakfast, then I also got up, and just after 8 am we left the house together.

Day 2012. It was our 10-year anniversary, and so I got up early and set up the lamp with our picture and wedding date in the kitchen, where Randy would see it, when he got home. Then I lay back down in bed. Later Randy thanked me for the lamp; for the first time in 10 years he had forgotten our anniversary, but I didn't mind.
