School... or lack thereof

I've had a six-day weekend this past week. Saturday night/Sunday morning our little man had a 102 degree fever, so we went to the Children's Hospital ER to make sure we weren't missing something major. They checked him out and said it was viral, but without doing a complete blood work-up they couldn't specify what it was. I asked if the treatment at this age (just under four months) would be any different for different viral infections and the doctor said that the treatment would be pretty much the same (lots of rest/fluids for the little man). Bob and I couldn't see putting the little man through bloodwork when in the end we would be doing the same treatment anyway. (Why poke and prod an already miserable, sick baby? Heck, I don't even like being poked and prodded when I'm WELL. :-D)

So... I stayed home Monday to take care of the handsome sicky. :-)

Tuesday, we had snow... then ice.... then snow... then more ice... and finally a bit of snow on the top. I'm guessing we have about 7 or 8 inches snow and about 1 to 2 inches of ice that came down in the form of freezing rain. In short, no school. Wednesday... no school. Today? Two-hour delay... and no school. Tomorrow? Two-hour delay... and, in all likelihood, school. The kids are going to be batty, having been cooped up because of the ice. Hormonal (Valentine's Day), sugared-up (Valentine's Day), and stir-crazy (snow days) kids... it's days like tomorrow that we should earn combat pay. ;-)
