I keep my children home when they say "cough cough, my tummy hurts". I'm a sucker for a kid who wants to be home on a snowy school day. Actually, I buy it more if said kid is the one who gets up at dawn and is completely ready to leave 45 minutes before he has to AND will be missing out on the Rugby practice that he lives for. how many times in one paragraph can I end a sentence with a preposition?
So, being the awesome example of the mom that I am, Of course I am tending to his needs and am not blogging or reading blogs today (cough). IF I had been out, I might have read an awesome holiday post over at Cheeseboy's place that I would have probably highly recommended...
and included a link to get you there quickly....
Of course you will not be reading blogs. Have you given him a small bell so can summon you whenever he needs you? ....thought so
ReplyDeleteHa!! I was a sucker for that too! Even a cold, rainy day would get my attention!!

Hope he's feeling better soon. You're just giving him time to heal. Besides, if you gave him too much attention wouldn't it just encourage more of the same?
ReplyDeleteOne thing I did try with LinkWithin was deleting and reinstalling it in different places on my blog and the same places 4 or 5 times. Maybe that was the magic?? Good luck.
Good work mom. I hope your kiddo feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteSnuggle up and enJOY the time. Life's too short to spend every wonderful day in school, right?!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteMy homeschooled kids don't feign illness if they need a break, they implore me for more socialization, as in: "I can't bear another minute alone in my room with that Algebra book! I'm simply dying from lack of varied stimulation!" If they use elevated vocabulary like that I cave in an instant. (Smart)Mom's are funny like that. ; )
I think some tea with honey and lemon might be just the thing for a "chilly tummy" ailment.
Have fun . . . the blogs will keep.

"Awesome"??? Well, thank you. I actually finished that post and thought it was kinda lame. But THANK YOU! I thought it might resonate with the moms out there.
ReplyDeleteHope your kid feels better soon.
Poor kid! Hope everyone feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteahahaha you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteEverybody needs a day off now and again when they aren't feeling well. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you can end as many sentences in a preposition as you want to. ;)
