Home again- but not for a snow day

How disappointed was I when I turned on the TV at 6:30 to find every single surrounding school district closed, but not Zeeland. I was sure we'd get a snow day today. I woke Cobe up at 7:45, and he said his legs hurt. Then he started complaining about feeling like he was going to throw up. He never pretends to be sick, so I guess I should have believed him, but I kept encouraging him to get up, get ready, eat breakfast, etc. He tried. I finally gave in and said he could go to school late. I felt his head around 9:30 or 10:00, and he definitely had a fever. I just gave him Motrin about 30 minutes ago because he is achy and has a headache. Poor guy! So I called in sick, and Lisa is going to sub for me. It is so nice not to have to rush in and leave sub plans- she is always willing to sub for me, and she is such a good sub that she doesn't need me to leave plans. I just told her what to do over the phone, and she is good to go. Cobe has been really clingy though ( SO unlike him!) and wants me to stay with him in the bed. I refuse to do that- memories of my recent illness keep flashing before my eyes, so I do not want to get what he has. I hope it is short-lived whatever he has. He'll be going to the Dr. in the morning if he is still sick because we are supposed to go to Great Wolf Lodge on Saturday. I would hate to have to postpone our trip again. I hope he gets well soon and that nobody else gets it. Off to take care of the patient.

P.S. I almost forgot. I used my Christmas money last night to make a big purchase. I bought this camera, and I can't wait for it to get here!!!!!!!

I hope that Cobe feels better. I, too, was shocked when I turned on the TV and no snow day. I was outside shoveling when the bus came this morning and I did wonder where Cobe was! If you need anything let me know!

Yay on the new camera! Can't wait til you get it! Poor Cobe... I hope that you don't have to clean anything up... even your own children doesn't make it any easier. That would be AWFUL to have to reschedule GWL again. That's so nice that Lisa can sub for you. I'm sure thats a HUGE relief!

Hope Cobe is better. Tough when the little ones get sick.

How did you take a picture of the camera???? How did it take a picture of itself??
