The kids are supposed to be going to Disneyland this weekend.
And they are all sick.
It is 6:49 am and I did not wake them up for school.
All of the goals for perfect attendance just vanished.
The thing is, they aren't sick sick.
And I am dealing with that guilt all over again. The guilt that I am letting my community down because I let myself keep my kids sick BEFORE they get ALL THE WAY sick.
And then I think that if every parent acted like me, instead of having kids push through, then no one would ever be sick, because we would be taking care of ourselves.

One of them stirred, and I went to check on them.
Too bad for what anyone else thinks, my kids need the best medicine available, a good dose of SLEEP. I intend to keep the house dark and quiet (I haven't even turned on any lights) and let them sleep until at least NOON.
I have tea for when they wake up.
An soup for shortly after that.
But this Dr. Mom (I'm not really a Dr) cures her kids with sleep and society can just take a backseat and learn!
