I wasn't exactly pleased with her the other day when she ran through the yard with a baby bird in her mouth. I buried the poor little guy under a bush. Then yesterday she comes to me and drops a rabbit foot by my feet. I searched and had not seen any other parts of the poor animal. As upsetting as it is I guess that's nature.
Well, we made it to the second week of school and both kids are home sick. My daughter started feeling sick last Friday night and spent the 4-day weekend at home feeling miserable. All the Labor Day plans had to be canceled or changed. Yesterday my son came home from school saying he had a headache and complained about the loud classrooms. I thought here we go again. I've been bracing myself for this. He went right into his room and slept the evening away, even refusing dinner. When I went to check on him he was sweaty and told me he thinks he has a fever. Sure enough, 101.6. The fever is gone but his throat still hurts. My daughter was complaining of a headache this morning so it's day 2 of no school. One of the several things I dislike about government controlled schools is they only allow 10 out of 180 school days of parental excused absences. I really don't feel like running my kids to the doctor every time they are sick when I know how to treat them at home, all for a note.
I just wish parents were capable of leaving their kids home when they are sick. My son said a kid in his class kept coughing on him. It's ridiculous!
I'm sure I gave homeschool moms a reason to be thankful to homeschool.
