Last Day

It's finally the last day of school. Wouldn't you know it, my 7 year old is sick. He has A flu (fever, chills, aches, stuffy nose, vomiting) but we have not determined if it is THE flu. We will call the doctor in an hour and a half and get him in. Then, of course, we will do our civic duty and inform the school system of the diagnosis. No reports on the county health department site of current issues with THE flu. Keep your fingers crossed.

In other news on the same child, he has successfully fulfilled his obligation to be an official member of the swim team. He swam two events at time trials, 25 Freestyle (more like dog paddle) and 25 Backstroke (with arms fluttering underwater by his side). Sorry, no pictures yet. I'll have some soon, though.

The over-achieving older brother was pretty amazing, too. He swam three events, (50 back, breast and free) then decided he could do butterfly. After he finished butterfly he informed me he thought he'd be good for the IM. ????? I was so proud of his willingness to try something so far out of his comfort zone.

My kids are amazing. And I am officially very boring.

Enjoy your day.

Peace

I usually have Monday to myself, but for the past few weeks this has not been the case. You can imagine how happy I was when I realized this morning that I would once again, have my solitary Monday. My day has been quite boring. I submitted a urine sample for a drug screening for a job. I called my son's dentist to schedule an appointment. I called a company I've been trying to get a job with to find out the status of my job. I did some laundry. I cleaned a bathroom and did the breakfast dishes and I baked some rolls.

It is now 1:45 pm. My kids will be home in an hour and a half. I am watching a movie called Bright Young Things (not doing anything for me) and lounging without bonbons. I still have to take the kids to swim practice and buy team suits for them AND attend the 1st grade end of the year program. I still consider this to be a peaceful day. Once in a while, it's nice not to have to talk to anyone.

Enjoy your day.
