An Apple (of My Eye) a Day . . .

Laura isn't feeling very well, so I just picked her up from school. She insisted that I take her for the first hour because she didn't want to miss math.

I know.

I don't understand it either.

When we got home I was mixing a dropper of a homeopathic remedy into a glass of juice for her, and she caught me in the act.

Laura: "What is THAT?"

Me: "Don't worry, it's tasteless."

It disappeared as I stirred the light brown liquid into the unfiltered apple juice.

Laura: "It's seeless too."

Man, the sickies are going around. We are all down here. Nasty colds.

My kids are tormented by the idea of missing school. Yay for me.

Hope the seeless elixir works it's magic on Laura.

Last time I stirred a dropperful of strange brown liquid into my apple juice, I was inducing labor.

Hope your smart girl feels better soon!

Can I some?

She said...

What was it? Did you get it at Whole Foods?

Tell her I hope she feels better soon. And I totally understand not wanting to miss school. I had perfect attendance (in all my grades except kindergarten), and then in 8th grade, I got the chicken pox. I called the school to see if I could still go to my classes because I was so DIDN'T want to be absent. They said, "NO," of course!

I am home with Carlie today. I had nothing tasteless or seeless for her, so I gave her Nyquil this morning to help her rest. Mom of the year, yo.

Aaargh - can't reach you otherwise. Thanks for the thumbs up on my Minnesota Matron comment. Go back there to read Nora's - it's brilliant.

I swear, I'd be responding to all your comments if you enabled public access to your e-mail. Can't you set up a separate e-mail account just for your Blogger profile page?

ROFLMAO! Hope Laura's feeling better :-)

I just took mine too for the first hour. But his reasoning was that he already missed a week for vacation so he needed to pick up that pesky homework so we don't finish the quarter with D's. No biggy.
