I was going to blow off posting today. It’s been a long week. Veterans day the kid was home. He ended up getting sick so he stayed home today and now, since he is still sporting a low-grade fever no school tomorrow.

The problem with my 5 year-old son is he is full of energy. I think once, maybe twice he has been so sick he sat on the couch quietly and watched TV. Otherwise he is ready to run around, chase the dog, ride his bike etc. But he can’t because it makes him cough. He is cranky from being sick so it usually ends up with me screaming “Stop running” by the end of the day and him screaming back, “No”- it’s exhausting for both of us.

I remember after he had his tonsils out they told me he would be out of it for the rest of the day and to keep him quiet. HA! He woke up an hour after he got home and literally (yes, I mean the correct usage of literally) jumped off the couch and ran to the freezer for popsicles. He ate one after enough and we spent the rest of the time trying to get him to stop running.

So not much of a post today. sorry. I need to conserve my energy for tomorrow.
