It has rained, literally non-stop since sometime Saturday night. Just when we think it might actually let up a bit, it starts coming down harder. I can only imagine what kind of flooding may happen in our region from this!
HT is home and is a sick little guy. He's been iffy since early last week, but overall he didn't really seem that bad. That is, until last night. That poor child coughed all night, and none of us got much sleep. I took him to the doctor this morning, and he has bronchitis. Because he is asthmatic we want to make sure he doesn't develop walking pneumonia, so he's on an antibiotic, albuterol, and (the best of all!) cough medicine with codeine. I'm hopeful we can all get some sleep this evening.
We received a call from JC's principal this morning. They had a classroom spelling bee, and when JC missed her word she stormed across the room and threw a pencil. She was sent directly to the principal's office. I remember this happening once in second grade. She gets so angry at herself and just doesn't seem to know how to handle it. Unfortunately, her actions when angry at herself are a danger to others. I explained to the principal that while there was absolutely no excuse for her actions, I suspected the fact that she's as exhausted as the rest of us probably caused her behavior to be worse than normal. And then there is the fact that it's spelling...for some very odd reason she expects herself to be absolutely perfect at spelling. She is not this way about any other subject, but when it comes to spelling anything less than a 100% can send her into tears. I have no idea why, but she's always been that way.
I'm scheduled to work so my wonderful husband is staying home tomorrow. HT isn't allowed back to school until Wednesday at the earliest, and possibly later in the week. I'm so grateful to my husband for being able and willing to do that, and hopefully HT will be feeling better quickly!
