Sick Day


Now don't get me wrong, I have never hoped that my boys would get sick, but I have often thought about how lovely it is when one of them is a little down-and-out.

I love a boy who wants nothing but to cuddle and be close to me.

I thought today was going to be one of those days with Luke.

He had to stay home from school today because of a stomach bug.

It started off well.  He seemed to have gotten most of it out of his system early on and was feeling okay.

We got some reading done, worked on his math, watched T.V. and just hung out.  It was nice.

Then suddenly, it really hit him--hard. 

I think it may have been one of the roughest, messiest cases of the yucko's any of my boys have had--at least in the last few years. 

It was so bad that it was funny. 

Needless to say, everything has been completely disinfected because I'm in no hurry to have another sick day for awhile.
