Today was supposed to be our 27th day of school. Its going to have to wait. I have declared a sick day. Its so rare that we have a sick day that I think I shocked myself. Did I just really declare a sick day?
Yesterday I thought it was allergies. Then I started to think maybe it was a cold. I let D sleep till 9:30 this morning where I usually wake him up at 7:30 and we start at 8:30. He sounded so congested when he awoke that I knew it wasn't allergies. Off I went to CVS for cold medicine.
We read aloud from Seventh Grade Space Station. Then I sent him to finish the last 2 chapters. It took him forever and ever. I kept checking he had not fallen asleep. On top of that he was reading while soaking his foot in a bowl of hot water (for an infected ingrown toenail, that he is also on antibiotic for).
When he said he did not want to go to the gym to workout I knew he really, truly was not feeling well.
We could have slogged through the rest of the day but it would have been a waste. He would not be paying attention and we would just have to review the lessons anyway.
I keep telling myself this is so much better than school where he would miss the days lesson never to hear them again. Gotta love homeschooling!
edited to add: D has a fever. Now I feel better that I mostly cancelled school. He actually took a nap this afternoon (unheard of!).
