Sick kid

JC is home sick today. It was a frustrating morning because she never mentioned anything to me. The school had called asking if I could work, and then JR mentions to me 40 minutes later that JC's throat hurts and she can't swallow. She has temp of about 99.5 so she definitely needs to stay home. I feel badly for her, but at the same time was upset because if she had mentioned this when I first got her out of bed, I could have told the school no. Instead, it was 40 minutes later and I was going to have the school scrambling. They were very understanding about it, but I hate having to do that to them!

I think this might also explain some of her emotions and poor decisions this week. It hasn't been an awful week, but it hasn't been a great one either. I have a doctor appointment for her at 10:30 this morning because we have a big family celebration for our last Christmas and Grandma's 80th birthday Sunday. I would hate for us to have to miss it!
