SICK

Ok...it is the 4th day of school...I shouldn't have a sick child already! I got a call at about 1:45 today (school got out at 2:15) telling me Allie was in the nurse's office & her tummy hurt. I said fine I'd pick her up. I chewed her out all the way to the car about crying wolf & always having a tummy ache. There is a new nurse & I figured she just got her way & got to come home.

Well...I was wrong...she really was sick...she had a fever of 103 & she threw up all over the bathroom floor...about 8 times! So, I did apologize to her for not believing her & babied her quite a bit. I feel awful for her & I feel awful that I didn't believe her. I guess in the end, she may have learned a lesson to about crying wolf!

In other news, Jake got a call from his football coach & he is on the Falcons this year. He is excited about his teammates & ready for his first practice which is tomorrow night. We should find out about his soccer team this week...I hope his soccer & football practices don't conflict.

Also, I have 6 dates to sub in September already on my calendar. I guess I will keep busy!
