sick

Rachel was home from school yesterday and will be home again today, sick. Each morning she's been in tears because she can't go to school. But she has a very sore throat and fever, so she can't go, unfortunately. I almost didn't send her on Monday, either, but she hadn't started the fever yet at that point. I hope to get her in at the doctor today.

I don't like that she's sick, but it's nice having her home. When she has ibuprofen in her she feels pretty good and and plays normally. So she entertains her sister, which makes things easier on me! Yesterday she and I dressed paper dolls while Rebecca played with other things. She said, "I like going to school, but I'm having fun at home with you, Mommy." :) But a few hours later she kept telling me how bored she was, lest you think it's all roses....

Rebecca's still got her cold, too, but hers only had a fever associated with it one night, and otherwise she's just been stuffed up (and now she's coughing). Come on, spring!!

But so much for spring...there's a coating of snow on the ground this morning. Yuck!

So that's the news from here. I'll be glad when everyone's healthy again (and spring is here to stay!)
