We all know that my son had the pewnies this past week. I thought that my daughter (I need to think of a good name for her) was coming down with it though I did have reservations. Friday morning she woke up complaining that she was sick and her stomach really hurt. Was she faking or was she really sick? That was the question. I took her temperature. It was a little elevated, but she was also sleeping in full winter jammies. Freckle Face was still sick and was going to have to stay home from school, so I figured she may as well stay home too.
Even though I knew that she was probably faking it.
Sometimes we just need a little extra love, you know? She doesn’t do this very often. In fact, I think this may have been the first time. I knew that she wasn’t going to miss anything crucial at school, so I let her stay home. I had to cancel my plans for the day, but I got a lot of laundry done. Well, half done. It still needs to be folded. That shocks you, doesn’t it?
Everyone is healthy today. Wait. I do kind of feel a little icky. Maybe I am coming down with it. Maybe I should go back to bed and stay there. Yeah, I am definitely feeling kind of icky. I need to go lie down.

You know, I was going to start lifting weights, but I may be coming down with “it” too.
Hmmmm….
The Kidos have a Mom Sanctioned Ditch Day every few months. They can check out of school and veg with me all day long or we run errands and have lunch. Everyone needs them and I know the Kiddos love the one on one time we have together.
See? Deep down, you’re still a homeschooler. 😀
We have days like that.Sometimes the pwenies are not so much physical but emotional or mental. We just need a break from the drudgeries of life. And it is OK.
