Sick? Not!

I had today off.  It was lovely.  Levi and I could sleep in as long as we wanted.  Because I had the day off I had organized to go and see a movie with as many of my nieces and nephew as possible.  They are mostly in university, so Friday morning is generally pretty quiet.  It was lovely to be able to just have some time with them.  Soon they will all be adults in their own rights, with jobs and families, and it is nice to steal a few moments while they still have time.  I met for coffee with the one that couldn't make the movie because her lectures started earlier (meaning noon - it is Uni).  Then saw a movie and had lunch with the rest.

When I had Levi in the car ready to drop him off for school, he said;

"Mum, you are dropping me off this morning, right?"

"Yes I am"

"And you are picking me up?"

"That's right"

"Do you have a day off today?"

"Yes, I do"

And then he said in all seriousness and completely cracking me up;

"I'm feeling sick"

Yes, he is trying that routine already!  I was talking to the kids at lunch and they said that the youngest (still in school) had managed to convince her mother that she needed to be off as well.  I so wish I could take them all, but during the day is the only time I have consistent babysitting, so they will have to miss out for the moment.  I was happy that during lunch, all the kids were sitting there deciding when to do it again, so I think they enjoyed it.  I certainly did!
