So I managed to teach the first preschool lesson of the school year without any major hitches, having had just over a month off. We did get a phone call in the middle of preschool from Chief's school. Chief was calling because he was 'sick and sad.' Mmm, humm. When Daddy got home from getting some snacks from the store (apples, since I'm teaching about nature this week), he went and got him. Before school I had given him allergy meds since he was having major allergy attacks this morning. However, keep in mind that his good friend was also not feeling well and she was armed with a note saying she might have to go home if she feels worse. Chief beat her home. She left school soon after. Also keep in mind that Chief loves to help me out when I have taught preschool in the past. And right as preschool was letting out he declared he felt better and was ready to return to school. Although it is possible it took the meds awhile to kick in, I suspect he may have a shot at an acting career.
My poor, sick and sad son...

At least he wanted to go back to school :)
The cardinal rule is that if a child is so sick that he/she has to leave school, he/she has to go to bed for the rest of the day and evening... even if the child feels better...
Why is it moms seldom get to "take off" and go home "sick?" Could it be that what they would have to face in the rest of the house after recuperation is worse than the malady and trying to prevent the anticipated disasters? Of course, videos for occupants helps when mom is out of commission but usually mom has to return to "duty" before full remission of the illness.
