Sick kid…has the swine flu

Well, it seems the youngest kid gave the oldest kid the swine flu.  Just when I thought we were in the clear, the oldest starts complaining about a sore throat and fever.

I took him to the doctors this morning just to make sure he didn’t have something else going on.  Two weeks ago he had a sinus infection and was prescribed antibiotics.    Thankfully, the doctor said he was fine otherwise.

As a parent, I just hate to see the kids sick.  I was hoping that we would only have to deal with the flu with the youngest, he “breezed” through the flu…the hardest thing was getting him to take the medicine.

Today was the youngest kids first day back at school since his recovery and I totally forgot it was early dismissal.  He has early dismissal the first Monday of every month.  I was waiting in the car line area and when the time came to pick up my son, there wasn’t anyone else around.  Then the light bulb went off, ding!!!!  early dismissal knucklehead!!!

Now I have both boys home and I am bound to get very little done, but such is the life of a stay at home parent.
