And so I wait.
Just another share this morning that I know all moms will relate to.
Drew is home from preschool sick today. He was fine all morning- playing and talking and giggling and full of energy.... completely normal behavior. Then, about ten minutes before we were supposed to leave for school, he suddenly turned absolutely pale and started crying that his tummy hurt. We stood over the toilet for about five minutes with him crying and me just trying to make him feel better. Nothing every happened and then he slowly stopped crying and the color returned to his face.
He took a bath, sipped on a little water, and sat down to read a book. I told him he couldn't go to school just in case, and he wasn't happy about that. Now, less than 45 minutes after being sure he was about to get sick, he is running around the house acting completely fine.
The feeling of dread that I have is one I know you will relate to-
Is he going to get a second round in a bit, this one with actual sickness? Is he the only one in the house that is going to get it? Do I have vomiting in my future? Will there be yuckiness in the house 24 hours from now, or was this a fluke thing?
And so I wait.

The cold weather has kept Papa from heading to Missouri to hunt, so there is no quiet weekend in my future. I wasn't thrilled with him going hunting all by himself - so it will be good to keep him warm - and safe. You stay the same!!
Probably a good thing that Paul opted to avoid hunting this weekend. It is supposed to be bitterly cold all weekend around here.
