senoritafishSheesh. What happened to the week? Wasn't it just Monday?
The kids had colds all week, and I can't seem to shake this lingering tired feeling. I did actually get the virus myself and stayed home Thursday, and slept until 1 pm. I think Avalon joined me for part of that time. She has not quite mastered the art of Kleenex usage, and is quite the little snot monster. Yurks! I clean off her face with a wipie and five minutes later it's worse than it was before.
Angus was home for two days as well. We had a minor crisis this morning because he was supposed to take something to share, and could not find his jellyfish that he'd gotten at the aquarium. I suggested he take Gareth's octopus instead, and he could tell the class what he'd learned about them. On the way to school, he got rather angry, because he did not want to take that venomous Arachnid to school. He did not want to hear that octopuses are mollusks - they had eight legs and they inject their prey with venom, so they must be spiders, nevermind that they're squishy and not crunchy. I told him if I found the jellyfish, his dad could drop it off when he brought Gareth to school (I did find Avalon's pink jelIyfish, but I don't know whether that occurred or not). I decided not to point out that jellyfish are also venomous, so I don't quite know what the objection was about. More that it wasn't his toy, probably.
John says I should have sent him without anything, rather than something that wasn't his. Well, maybe not, but he wasn't getting him ready, was he?
