A day with Payton...

We were up at 7:30am this morning. Maggie brought Payton by around 8:30am. Payton woke up this morning with a bad cough and Maggie was going to call the doctor to see if they needed to see him. We all had breakfast and then went downstairs to play. Gayle and BJ came by around 11:30am as they were cleaning up the '35 to take to a car show in a couple of weeks. Maggie called to ask us if we could take Payton the the doctor at 12:30pm and we said sure. The doctor looked over Payton and he has a respiratory virus and I guess a lot of kids have it right now. He said to give him cough medicine and a vaporizer for night time. So we left there and went to McDonald's for lunch. We then came home and Payton wanted Aunt Beth to take a nap with him. She loves that time she has with the kids. I left and had a couple of errands to do. Gayle and BJ were still cleaning the car. I was back home by 3pm and Beth was up, but Payton was sleeping. Payton woke up around 3:30pm and was crying cause Aunt Beth was not next to him. We watched a little TV and then had some fruit snacks. DJ came by to pick him up around 4:45pm. He told her he did not want to leave, not surprising all the kids say that. But today was Friday and he had dry pants all week, so he got a prize and he was ready to go. We had a great time with him and loved spending the day together. We left and went to the mall. Beth needed a watch battery and I wanted to go to Boarders Book store. It is going out of business and I wanted to see what they had. We found a two books and then had some dinner. We are now on meatless Fridays. So Beth had a tuna sandwich, which for some reason seafood is OK to have. I had Chinese sesame chicken, but there was not much chicken in there. Frank will be up tomorrow afternoon some time, so I need to clean house in the morning.

I wonder if the meat vs fish thing comes from the rules of keeping Kosher. Fish is not considered a meat in those rules either =)

My brother thinks it was started when the fishermen in Rome had a hard time selling their catch. So the Pope made all of lent meatless, it was changed some time ago to only Ash Wednesday and Fridays during lent now. I don't believe in all of my brothers conspiracy theories but who knows. I am not familiar with the rules of keeping Kosher, so I will accept them as an an alternative theory.
