Sickies

Published on Oct 3, 2013

Walker went to school last Friday with a stomach that hurt... and while I thought it was from being overly hungry (since we had to eat early the night before) or because the size 10 pants were making their last wearing before I found size 12 over the weekend.  Regardless I send him out the door... along with myself and Ainsley... 30 minutes into school the Secretary appears at my office... Walker threw up! I brought him home... got him dropped off onto the care of Daddy (who doesn't handle throw up well... but took it like a champ) and heading back for the rest of my day.

I got a "Yea!" when I walked in from work and took over... curling up to  Bug who has drove me bonkers the past week with his, "I know attitude!" but having him curl up with his Mama and say, "Thanks for taking care of me!"  made all that exasperating behavior vanish.  He rallied Saturday to sell popcorn at Albertsons and was feeling like his ol' self Sunday morning.  Round 2 started shortly after 9am Sunday... lucky me!  Round 3 started Monday morning at 6am and lucky Ainsley was the winner!  Monday afternoon this was us...

The last healthy McFarland had never washed and hand sanitized so much in his life as he has this past week.  Just when we said if he could make it through Wednesday he might be okay... round number 4 hit in the wee hours Wednesday morning.

Oh my I haven't felt this sick for awhile... everyone at work said it was my initiation to public school.  Looking for flu shots soon!
