Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore.
Good morning.
The kids are up and getting the finishing touches done on leaving for school.
Mark barfed.
Again.
In my kitchen sink.
It's my fault. I was peeing.
So I had to bleach out the sink at 6 o'clock in the morning.
What a fun way to wake up.
Not.
But he's going to school.
He can't miss more days. He'll fail. They fail for not being in school even if they have good grades so I'm sending him for that reason alone.
Gave him some money should he get sick and need to come home.The clinic will probably just send him home if he barfs at school again.
I know what you're thinking. Bad mommy. He barfed Kat, keep him home. What kind of mother are you?
I'm the kind of mother who watched him go to Mikeys sleepover birthday party fit as a fiddle.
I'm the kind of mother who watched him suck down hot wings yesterday afternoon like they were popsicles.
I'm the kind of mother who watched him play video games without nary a cough for five hours.
I'm the kind of mother who thinks he barfed on purpose to get out of something.
But he has a way to get home should he really truly be sick as a dog which I don't think he is because after I told him he was going anyway and that he would need to see the nurse before coming home and he absolutely couldn't miss anymore school, he seemed just peachy keen.
Like he hadn't thrown up at all.
Like he had been trying to yank my chain but failed.
Later days.
Don't be a dick, always right click or Santa will know and deduct a present.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas-Tori Amos

You're not a bad Mom at all - sounds like something I used to pull LOL!!
There are times when we have to just suck it up - feeling like crap or not - and go to work or school. Part of being responsible.
Have a good day! *hugs*

I used to fake sick too to get out of book reports etc. Maybe that's teh problem. He swears it isn't. He says he doesn't have anything due but I don't buy it. But he's gone now so we shall see I guess.

I used to fake sick all the time! I remember my mom letting me stay home from school because my "lips were swollen". LMAO
You're not a bad mom at all. You just know your kid, that's all! If he'd been truly sick he'd wouldn't have been able to do all the stuff he did over the weekend.

Hmmmm ... maybe he WAS just trying to yank your chain? He sure seems to have been ill a lot recently. How do you know for sure, though, when they're throwing up? I think you probably made the right move.

That's exactly what I was thinking Ally. He couldn't have been taht sick if he could go and have all that fun.
