Both kids were home sick today. Fevers and sore throats and headaches and tummy aches. My seven year old had just a slight fever and moderate yuck, but the five year old has spent most of the day lying on the couch. She even took a nap, which is always an indicator that she is feeling crummy. You could tell just by looking that she was running a fever – glassy, bloodshot eyes, flushed cheeks. Poor thing.
So of course I haven’t gotten much done all day. Almost no work, despite a Thursday deadline. Not even a shower. Just a few chapters of The Mouse and the Motorcycle, a round of Game Of The Year and snuggling on the couch. Just in the past 30 minutes they both seem to have started feeling a bit better — enough to get interested in something other than Mommy, which allowed me to start some laundry and wonder if I am likely to get that uninterrupted hour I need to knock out a deliverable…
