I did explain that it was really important that she keep up with what her class was doing, and that you should really only miss school when you're sick, but I think her real motivation was that she is "star student of the week" and gets to hand out folders, be line leader, etc., and it was for just ONE WEEK, which was almost over.

It would have been easier just to keep her home. I don't know that I would have gone back out on such a yucky day. Good mommy day for you, Erinn!

Which I knew was induced by staying up too late watching Sunday Night Football, but the school nurse worried was "a sign of strep coming on." Once Mack got home and realized there would be no TV, video games, or playing outside ("What am I supposed to do?" "Take a nap. People who are really sick like naps.") he started begging me to take him back to school. Mack already came home once this year for a headache.
