After a long day at work yesterday I came home to discover I had a missed call on my phone from my eldest. I called back to hear a very faint and pitiful voice on the other end "I'm poorly", again! It's getting to the point where I'm thinking a career change maybe in order, a nurse or a doctor as I apparently appear to have a gift for both when it comes to the boys!
Rushing around and catering for their every need! When does this happen to me? Never!
That's my selfish rant over with.
So I'm sat at my desk attempting to complete yet more work only to have another phone call from the school nurse, to advise my eldest is very poorly with a very high temperature. I can't help but wonder if he's actually sticking the thermometer on the radiator while she's not looking! I wouldn't mind but this would be about the 6th time he is ill and it's not looking good for his secondary career!
Are kids honestly that dim? Do they not realise that by pulling sickies you end up with more work? You don't actually get away with doing no work if you've been off sick, you simply get to do it at home or catch up with more throughout the week!
So here it is then, another unproductive day as I know when I call back at lunchtime I shall have to go and pick him up, the funny thing is the second her enters the house he will have made a full recovery! Ah to be a child again!
