Sick day

Today I am home from work with "sick" kids. Who aren't sick. :::sigh::: Josh was fine yesterday morning when we left home, but about 9:30 or so the daycare director came up to my room and said he had a fever of 101.5. So I had my students keep reading the piece I had been reading aloud to them, went into the hall and called Sean to come get Josh, went down to check on him and see if he wanted to come up into my room (he didn't), and came back to my students all freaked out and confused by the story. We are studying Hebrew literature and they were reading the creation stories from Genesis and were all confused and had all these religous questions that I couldn't answer.... Note to self: skip Genesis next year and go straight to psalms and proverbs. So anywayyyy.... I decided to take today off just in case Josh was still sick or Lexi came down with it... nope. They are fine. I don't have any paid sick leave left after my maternity leave, but oh well. It's nice to take the day off.

Having said that, though, there is no way I could be a full time stay at home mom. I know many people who do it well, but unfortunately I am not one of them. I have eaten way too much today and feel like I've accomplished nothing. I did get a few projects taken care of, so that's good. I got all of Lexi's clothes that she's outgrown put away and a few little messes cleaned up, and I got a letter to the editor written and sent. So those are a few things that have been bugging me that I got done.

So Josh found his toy cell phone the other day and was making Lexi text with it. He'd take her hand and pretend to push the buttons and say that she was texting this friend of Courtney's and that friend of Courtney's. Later when she was crying he told me that she was sad because she wanted to text. Oy. One kid texting is enough to drive me crazy... I don't need another. It's amazing what kids pick up from their siblings and from TV. Josh is like a little sponge. It's scary what he remembers. He seems to have mellowed out a little since starting back up with school, which is good. I went to pick him up the other day and his little friend Taya was playing with Lexi, rocking her car seat gently and that type of thing. The daycare teacher was all worried that Taya be careful and I'm like... Um, she lives with Josh. Taya is not going to bother her a bit.

So let's see... what else. Courtney was called to be Mia Maid president at church. A little interesting since she can never go to the Wed night activities. She has cross country meets most Wednesdays, and then she also has Youth Court on Wednesdays, so she is always doing one or the other. I asked her if she told the bishop that she dropped out of seminary and she said "no". Not like it really matters, but it's just kinda funny that she doesn't go to seminary or the activities and only comes sometimes on Sunday and they asked her to be the pres. They love her at church though. Her YW leader wrote me a really nice note after camp telling me how impressed she is with Courtney and what a great girl she is (I agree). I wonder what kind of notes I'll get when Josh gets older LOL I love my Joshy even if he gives me (more) gray hair.
