Day off for me

This morning I woke up with a severely croaky voice – possibly using it too much after having been sick. While I was having my quiet time, Aaron woke up and came through, also coughing and sounding very miserable. Having just stepped on a toy ship and cut his foot didn’t help to cheer him up any, so I lovingly suggested that we bunk school for the day and the boys could watch Wall-E instead. This, and a bowl of orange-flavoured muesli, soon got him up and bouncing. I was actually feeling quite well but really did as little talking as possible during the day. Thus it was that we skipped our first day of school this year due to illness.
