Say It Aint So

I was thrilled this morning to start the day with healthy kids, or healthier kids who are on the mend.  All three made it to school this morning and seemed to be feeling good.  We even managed to make it through the day without any calls from the schools requesting a pick up of a sickly child.  After a very long week last week this was a welcome day. 

I got a call from Natalie later in the day and in her partially lost voice, sounding weak and sickly she requested I come home.  She had just thrown up in the living room.  I did not want to hear this and my reply was something a long the lines of "say it ain't so" or "are you kidding me?"  Well, she wasn't kidding and suddenly I completely lacked the desire to head home.  I did not want to walk in to a pile of puke.  I invited Natty to clean it but she was not interested.  I had a few more things to do at the Brick House.  After getting home I learned that Natty had actually cleaned up her puke.  Wonderful, wonderful news.  Unfortunately she is down and out of it again though she is getting much needed rest.
