First Sick Day of School

Wouldn’t you know!  Friday of the first week of school – only 5 days in, Patrick doesn’t feel well and needs to stay home.

The quote of the day comes from Luke:  “This is going to be the baddest day EVER!”  me: “why?”  Luke:  “Because Patrick is not there”

Later that day after he came home from school, Luke had another quotable:  “I had to do housekeeping centers today” (centers is their play time in different areas of the classroom.  Math center is where they play with manipulatives, art is where they make crafts, Writing is where they write each other letters for the ‘mail’, housekeeping is the play kitchen, dolls and stuffed animals, etc)  me:  “Oh, what’s the housekeeping center?”  Luke:  “It’s a bunch of girlie stuff”

Whatever Patrick had, Luke got the next day and we had to take him to an Urgent Care.  Twice last winter, he got asthma-like symptoms from a cold and we had to get breathing treatments.  It ended up okay, since that’s how we got the inhaler which has saved us trips to the hospital when they have allergic reactions.

And, Happy Birthday to Grandma yesterday!  The big 65 this year.  Any retirement plans?  Oops.  Shouldn’t have brought it up!
