Sick
You can tell when they open their eyes and look up at you...
Something isn't right.
What's it going to be?
A sore throat?
A general "I don't feel good"?
Do I get the thermometer, or does she just seem tired?
100.7
Not terribly high, but that's in the no school zone.
I guess we are both calling in sick.
Do I call the doctor? It's hard to decide when/if it's just a virus...
I'll call the nurse and double check.
That's a wait and see.
Wait and see how many times I'll need to clean up the floor?
(Twice, it seems.)
Wait and watch a movie with my girl.
Star Wars trivia becomes the agenda.
Yet another day in a mom's life, filled with a mixture of worry and love.
And it's strep.
Thank goodness for antibiotics.
Where is the Lysol?
I wrote about this yesterday, but the student, at school version! Thank goodness for Lysol.

ReplyDeleteYour poem made me smile - loved how you asked questions and then answered them and then ended with a question. Hopefully you do not get strep.
