It's that time of year again...sniffling, sneezing, coughing, wheezing...and fevers.
On Wednesday I received "mom of the year" award. I insisted Ruthie was fine enough to go to school. At around 10:30 they called the mr. and he came and picked her up. Her temp was well over 100 degrees. On Thursday, there was no sign of the temperature going down, so I kept her home again. I forgot to call the school to let them know she would be out, so they called me...talk about a new experience. I guess I'm glad to know that if your child plays hookie in the second grade, they're on top of it. What's even more sad, is that there are enough parents out there that don't care if their child goes to school or not, that they have to make the phone calls in the first place. I can only figure there were enough people just letting their elementary school aged children cut that they had to employ this system.
But I digress. So, yesterday, Ruthie ended up spending half the day with my sister. I was planning on canceling Hannah's swimming lesson, but I knew I couldn't cancel our Allergy Shot (not without serious repercussions) and I was hoping to not cancel Joshua's drum lesson. I have a wonderful sister. She offered to keep Ruthie for that long so that Hannah could go to her lesson as well. That made Hannah's day considering this is the highlight of her week. A few weeks ago she told me, "Swimming is MY sport." Hannah owes her aunt a HUGE thank you.
Unfortunately, today Hannah is feverish, so we're both home from school today. I guess I'll get some dying done, as well as some much needed laundry.

I hope she feels better soon, that's no fun being sick... yes at my last job, I made many of those "Where is your child?" calls... however, they were normally playing hookie! So what are you dyeing?? I'm 'dying' to know.. hahaha!!! (sorry I couldn't help the fibers joke)
G ended up with the fever thing too but it was just one day. She missed school on Monday but was fine enough to play soccer last night. So far no one else has gotten it {knock on wood}.
