Last night everything was fine.  Mochis were happy, G and I watched a really dumb movie, but had a good time with it.  I went to bed happy.  At 2 am, Big Mochi wakes up crying.  She is burning up and is miserable.  G doses her with Tylenol and water and lays her out on a comforter on the livingroom floor where it’s cool and keeps a wet towel on her head.  I check her temperature, doubt the thermometer because she is way hotter than it reads.  She sleeps next to G.  Baby Mochi wakes up happy and when I check on the big one, she’s still super hot.  I dose her with more Tylenol and water, and she lies back down on the couch.  A few minutes later, she bolts up, whimpers and we run to the bathroom where she empties her tummy.  She doesn’t cry and is a great sport considering the horrible circumstances.  I take Baby Mochi to Aunty’s house and call the doctor on my way back.  I pick up breakfast for G and I, eat, and then head out to the pre-school to get paperwork taken care of, and then to the doctor, where they tell us that something is definitely going around and if she’s got it, it will not last long.  We get back home and Aunty calls me asking me to pick up Baby Mochi, who might be sick as she is inconsolable and has been yelling for hours.  I head out again, and she’s fine.  She misses her big sister, it seems.  At home, she’s fine, eats well, plays and is happy.  Naptime was a little more adventurous, as she got into the little tower of drawers that held my craft supplies.  She reached between her crib bars and emptied out the top drawer.  Crafts everywhere.  For 45 minutes she must’ve been working on all this.  It took me almost another 45 minutes to clean it up and then I put her back and she took a long nap.  Had dinner and baths and my day is finally over.  Did I mention I woke up with a sore throat today?  Yeah, and it just got progressively worse throughout the day, spreading to a cough, watery eyes, sinus troubles and a very hard heavy headache.  That being said, I am now going to bed.
