Today was a fairly normal day for a while. It is turning into summer here and the days just get progressively hotter. The paths are carpeted with Jacaranda flowers and I am only just managing to keep up with cleaning the paths, with the new blower. I am waging war against cane toads at the moment as well. They are gross and I am hoping that in my small way I can protect the native Australian fauna. That and they are gross. Have I said that before? All my friends in USA are afraid of the spiders and snakes here but what they don't realise is that it is the cane toad that does my head in.
Today was a normal day until about 1pm. Then the school rang. Levi had been complaining about stomach pains all morning and had been in the sick room for the last hour. Could I please come and pick him up? So I went to get him. When I got there he was in the sick room with a sick bag but he was happy to see me and we went and got his stuff from the classroom. By the time we got to the car he was all perky and happy. He skipped to the car. Now I am starting to get cranky. I assume the he is just mucking not just with my head but also with the school. In his defense, when we got home, he spent a significant time in the bathroom. But then he was bouncy and happy all afternoon. I got crankier. In his defense, he did say he had a headache and I gave him Motrin. But he was wanting to play all afternoon. I made him lie down and be 'sick'. He wanted to bounce around and interact. I made him lie down and be 'sick'.
I have no idea if he is sick. I have no idea what to do now. Maybe there is something happening at school that I am missing. I think I need to talk to his teacher.
And now he is wheezing steadily in bed. Maybe I am just a really bad mother after all. Oh I wish parenting was more cut and dried sometimes!
