So the long weekend's been over for a couple days now, and thankfully, both Tyler and Sarah have been feeling well enough to go. This makes me happy on several levels.
Primarily, obviously I'm glad my kids are feeling better. It royally sucks to be sick when you're an adult. It's ten times worse when you're a kid.
Secondly, as any parent knows, especially a stay-at-home parent, when kids are sick they're a lot more work; I'm sure this makes me sound terrible, but it's true. On top of whatever ailment related symptoms your kids are exhibiting, there's a lot more crying, whining, misbehaving, and general grossness. There're generally a lot more runny noses, eye goobers, dirtyness, yucky breath, etc. Plus, depending on what your kids are sick with, there's puking, the trots, coughing, nasty things that get hacked up from coughing, extra scary boogers, etc. Sorry for being so graphic, but these things had to be said. Anyway, the lack of all these scary things, as well as getting a little break from the kids that have been experiencing them, is another reason to be grateful they're feeling better and back to school.
Hooray for a little extra rest!!!
