Today the boys don't have school, and I'm working a low-grade fever, day 3.
These days are actually good to have every once in a while because you get permission to loosen your ties to responsibility in a way that doesn't undermine your future. ("Mom, you let us watch a cartoon AND a movie last Friday, why can't we now?" "Because I was sick last Friday, and today I'm not." BOOM.)
So the boys are watching a cartoon before breakfast. This afternoon, I plan to introduce them to the movie HOOK. For lunch, we are probably going to use McDonald's gift cards that a friend gave them for Valentine's Day, if I feel like driving. If not, we'll do what we did for yesterday's (half day of school!) lunch: make your own sandwich while the mama watches from the couch.
Yesterday, I could not muster up the energy to be the peace-maker in a basketball argument, so I said, "Everyone sit on the couch and watch the Olympics." Which yielded the funniest comment of the day: "Best consequence EVER!"
Sick day rules make sick days rule.
