For real, though...
The girl was coughing all day yesterday, and was a general snot factory, in addition to not acting like her normal, bouncy self.
Today, she is home from school, and I am a human couch cushion.
It's the last week of the semester, and I have things... important things... that need to be done.
Instead, I'm my daughter's bean bag chair, explaining details of a movie the kids have been watching non stop for the last month.
Granted, it's comforting to know that my children don't fully pay attention to anything, and they don't reserve this just for me.
But... back to the kindergarten petri dish...
Things could be worse... we only had vomit for 4 days of the school year. Even though the girl has gotten a letter from the school for missing days, and it's 2.5 weeks before Christmas break. At least each absence wasn't accompanied by puke. I can wipe a runny nose all day, er'y day.
I think I need a nap. Laying around is exhausting.
My husband woke me up this morning around 7:40 before he headed to work. I snuggled back under the covers for a few minutes and checked my Facebook. I admit, I'm totally addicted. Since I quit my job to stay home with the kiddos, it's my main means of communication with just about everyone. Anywho, I see on there that JP's school is closed today due to a water-main break. My heart sunk. I was so looking forward to the 2.5 hours of freedom after the day I had with the boy yesterday. If my life were a movie, this is the point where the scene would fade out, probably with some cheesy music, and the following would be in soft focus to further illustrate the flash-backiness. Yesterday was rough. JP was cranky pants from the getgo, screaming every time I said something that he didn't like, or gave an answer he didn't like. Everything was "WHY?!?!?!?!" Church felt awkward to me. I felt like all eyes were on me and my screaming kid....
