A Lag Liv Family Miracle

By Anonymous

After another scare last night when JP's temperature jumped up to 104.4 and took its time coming back down (I have never felt someone so burning hot), we have experienced a Memorial Day/Exam Week/Big Move miracle. I gave him a dose of tylenol at 3:30 AM and when I woke up at 7:30 his temperature was a perfect 98.4 degrees. Unfortunately accomplishing that 6 degree drop involved sweating through our only extra set of sheets, two blankets, the dry-clean only comforter, and our mattress, but he is feeling 100% better and I was looking for an excuse to get a new bedroom set anyway. And because one miracle wouldn't have been enough to fully recover from the past few days, Landon was a perfect, playful little guy all day yesterday and then slept 11.5 hours last night! Hope and happiness reign once again in the Lag Liv house.

I've spent the morning enjoying my smiling boys and getting all the packing and organizing done for the move. Because my M&A final tomorrow is followed immediately by environmental law on Wednesday morning (the same time the movers come), I need to have everything arranged now. My firm provides a full service move (packing, loading, unloading, taking apart the furniture and putting it back together - these are the kind of perks no one asks about at OCI but really make a difference during this crazy summer), but we'll need clothes and other items for the 10-14 days before the truck gets to Austin. I've finished with our bathroom, my jewelry, Landon's room, and my closet. All JP has to do is keep the movers away from those suitcases and a few other things we'll need for the 2 nights we'll spend in our wood-floored furniture-less apartment (like the air mattresses- those will be very important).

Now armed with rest and an early morning sense of accomplishment, I'm heading down to Hyde Park to spend my Memorial Day holed away in a corner of the library leaning something about mergers, acquisitions, and maybe environmental law. I may have mentioned this before, but I cannot wait for law school to be over - FOUR more days! (Although right now that sounds more scary than happy...)
