Under the Weather

I've been having the flu since the weekend and have been on the just-barely-making-it time management plan. Didja know children come with their own agendas? Even if you are sick. I don't know why I am surprised every time by that little fact. And at least one child here is still grieving over the recent (two Sundays back) death of Muriel, his well loved and talented hamster. Muriel rocked. Best. Hamster. Ever. Made me rethink the whole rodent pet issue.
