Why are long weekends so LOOOONG?
We had a PD Day on Friday, effectively turning it into a holiday weekend without the holiday. Add to that Diva Girl’s undrugged sickday on Thursday, and it made for a very, very long long weekend.
On the one hand, I suppose it was nice that she had another day to recover, but didn’t have to miss any school. On the other hand, the charming combination of cabin fever combined with that particular form of aphasia that only affects children, making it impossible for them to comprehend their native tongue when spoken by a parent made it a bit harder to appreciate the healing properties of another day off school. Especially when the knowledge that there are two more days just like it is looming in the back of your consciousness.
Maybe that’s why when Diva Girl suggested this morning that maybe she should stay home one more day, just to be sure, I started laughing hysterically. If she really does hack up some lung tissue at school, I’ll feel guilty about it. But really, she does have two of them….

And if it is only a LITTLE lung tissue, that’s not so bad right? I can’t wait til my kids start preschool… that’s probably sad but I’m losing my mind as a stay at home mom.

Definitely time to be back in school, once someone is bargaining to stay home another day.

I just went through this. My son had strep throat, and he was bargaining to stay home this Monday. No way. He was lucky Friday, and ended up with a snow day. The long weekend was enough. Does everyone’s normally helpful kids seem to forget how to walk when they’re sick.
