The Oldest is never sick. Like never. But today, got a call from the school nurse and whammo, he's got a 102.7 temperature. Just like that. Throat hurts, he feels weak, and he was cold under the covers last night. Hmmm. I did ignore that last one, thought he was just trying to get attention. Hey, he's always healthy! I didn't believe him! Cut me some slack. My eyes are wide open now! I get it; he's sick!
So sick that he's deleriously talking about living in Colorado for 107 years. He won't stop talking. ?? Incessant. Non stop.
We're going to the Ped. 4:00. We're off. Poor thing. AND he told me I'm the best mom in the world (kay then I KNEW he was delerious) for leaving work to come get him from school. He actually said, "of all the 30% of the moms in the world you are 100% the best." eh? I guess he's only measuring me against 30% of the mom's in the world? See? He's delerious. Told ya. Then he got teary eyed because he was going to miss school tomorrow. They are doing something special in their class with the principal and he's missing it tomorrow. He made me email the teacher and ask if they'd do something like that again and to tell her sorry he wouldn't be there (?). Good Heavens.
It's probably just a virus. Lets hope. Now he's singing. Just laying there watching TV (he won't take a nap) singing. Oy.
You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.
