Kiddo got in the car and said, “my eyes hurt from all the screens today.” She only ate the orange I put in her snack tin, not the rice Krispy treat. She said she felt like she wanted to just go to sleep when they were doing their iPad literacy app. Sure enough she has a fever. Checked her water bottle, looks like she barely had 2 oz. 🧐 Now comes the mental gymnastics of deciding if she’s having a fever from dehydration or if she has a virus. To go to school tomorrow or not to go?
@MotherDucker Eh, unless she rebounds spectacularly giving her a break won't hurt, right? 😁
@SaltyVeruca it certainly won’t in my opinion. But we have received an attendance letter earlier in the year and that burns me up. Unless her fever vanishes without a trace well before dinner time, she’s probably going to be my sidekick tomorrow.
@MotherDucker Yeah, they can eat that. They're not in charge of her medical state nor are they paying the bills.
@SaltyVeruca I essentially told them so when I replied to their letter. I get that the state has to monitor attendance, but you would think we would have learned a lesson from the last 5 years.
@MotherDucker
Rehydrate and check again. The sleepy to me sounds like coming down with something.
Best to you both; may you need no garbage cans.
@MelissaHDavis frankly I am surprised she hasn’t puked already. She’s one of those every fever every time cookie tossers🤢
Also mentioned her classroom was very hot but she felt good playing outside. 🤔
