Sick Day

October 28, 2005 | Category: Mother to the First Power



I was feeling a little punkish this morning, Scratchy throat, tired. Nothing major.

Bear crawled into bed with me, and I kept saying that we had to get ready for school.

After about 30 minutes of that, he finally touched my forehead and smiled.

"Mommy, I have a better idea. How about we stay home instead?"

"And what would we do?"

"Watch Scoobie Doo. And eat soup."

"Oh," I thought. And really, doesn't that sound good? "OK," I agreed.

He grinned.

(Just so you know, he DID make me icecube-jellybean-carrot soup for lunch.)

My daughter asked me if she could stay home today, and I sent her to school. Ouch...guilt pangs coming on.
Seriously, I enjoy your writing. I'm compiling a book called Real Moms Speak: Wisdom from the Trenches and I need other writers to join me. If you're interested in learning more, go to www.RealMomsSpeak.com.

My mom used to let me stay home occasionally and those are some of my best memories.

Good for you!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't need much convincing to stay home in bed!!

Sounds like a great day!
