School Cooties

Sickness has hit! The kids have gotten the dreaded "school cooties" and now I have one home sick in bed with a fever! I love school time, the kids having a more regular schedule, being in an environment of learning, and being able to have some "me" time while they are there makes me appreciate them all the more when they come home.....but I hate the school cooties! I hate it when there is nothing you can do to make them better or a "magic" pill to give them to hurry the healing. I also hate that when this happens on my scheduled working days,I have to make a heart wrenching decision....go to work anyway and have someone stay with them or stay home and miss work. I would much rather be home with them, but I am also the only working adult in my household...wait I am the only adult period....sometimes it sucks having to be the mom and the dad, the cook and the car repairman, the lawn person and the laundry person, and the good guy and bad, all at the same time!

So, luckily Rylen came home sick today with 101 fever on my day off so I can hopefully nurse him back to health before I have to go back to work on Sunday.Chicken noodle soup and 7 up, here I come!
