And then everyone got sick.
It started with the moms this time, and then moved from the younger grades to the older grades. The school eventually sent home a letter defining sick, so none of us parents could play dumb. I got off easy, but this kid was home for four days with just enough fever to disqualify her for school. And she kept falling asleep every afternoon. Besides that slight fever and the unusual naps, she was not a very convincing invalid.
After she shaped up, Frances was home for two days.
Then it was Mark's turn. Two days home, a weekend home and then a third day home.
It was a bowl of cherries, but other families had high fevers and stomach ailments, otherwise known as the flu, so I count us as the lucky ones.
