Sick.

I picked up the latest bug going around yesterday. Fever. Chills. Sore Throat. All that. Michael offered to stay home today, but since I try to save those days for real emergencies, I just asked him to tell the kids I was sick. After that, they were super great. They left me alone, played very nicely all morning together, had a snack, and were generally very understanding of mommy lying on the couch watching tv. I arranged a ride for Parker to and from school and only had to resort to Dora for the girls around lunch time.

It's never fun to be sick, but I can't really complain too much about it today.
