My gosh, I feel like I've lost weeks out of my life! The kids and DH were sick, consecutively, not concurrently. Which I guess is good, because all at once would have killed me, LOL! One week, Ellen and Marci only managed to be at school a total of 3 out of 10 days between them! Tim started it with a chest cold, then Ellen, then Marci, and finally Max. I missed it completely, which acutally seems unfair. I lost the sleep taking care of them, but never got a few days in bed myself. Oh well, maybe next time.
I was reminded of an incident with Max that has to be shared. He can not cultivate the habit of making his bed. I've tried everything to encourage him. Finally I said, "I'm going to check your room each morning and if you don't make your bed, I will take away one blanket." We live in a drafty old farmhouse - he has five blankets, plus his sheets on his bed at any one time in the winter. His response: "But what happens when I don't have anything to cover up with???"
Not, "Gee, I better remember to make my bed" NOPE, that thought apparently never even entered his mind! Boys, I'm learning are just made differently ;)
