One down....hopefully no more to go!

How is it that kids never fail to get sick at the most inappropriate times? This week my oldest daughter’s school is hosting the New York State Math Test. Sunday night, she complains of a sore throat. Of course, why not, testing begins in the morning….why not come down with something?...you’re a kid….its your job to get sick, right? RIGHT!!! Monday morning she wakes up with the highest fever of the season.

How did this come about? Let’s see, Saturday she went to a birthday party at some indoor mini golf arena. Sunday was her own ice skating birthday party. What is it with all the birthdays in March? Anyway, long story made short, I should have known better. Every time one of the kids goes to such children infested places, one of them drops like a fly the next day. What a horrible, terrible mother am I to force my children to play with others of her kind?

With that being said, do you think I’ve learned my lesson? Don’t think so. Her sister has RSPV’d to a birthday party this coming weekend. This one is at some jumping around place with a costumed host. Well, at least she doesn’t have any state tests scheduled for the week after!! :)
