Sick Days

Moe doesn't get sick very often (knock wood), and now that he isn't in school he is exposed to even fewer viruses. But last weekend, he caught something. It didn't seem serious. He had a low grade fever that I treated with one dose of ibuprofen then never returned. He didn't want to eat much, but was drinking water and wasn't dehydrated. He was tired and mellow, content just to hang out on the couch or in his room.

Come read more about what it's like when Moe isn't feeling like himself over at Hopeful Parents, where I write on the 14th of every month.

Sandwiched?

I’ve been lucky to have avoided the issues plaguing some of my friends in this sandwich generation of ours. In the past year, two of my good friends have had their fathers pass away, and one of them is now managing her mother’s care, from housing and finances to dialysis and medical appointments. This friend also has a two year old.

But like I said, I’ve been lucky...

A Magnificent Flashback

Because the summer break is almost half way over...
And because the summer program at Moe's school finishes on Friday and I'm nervous about starting at a new place for the rest of the summer...
And because I had a post due today over at Hopeful Parents and I didn't have time to write another one...

For today's Alphabe-Thursday post, I'm going to recycle a post from the very beginning of this school year, Moe's first year in preschool. Click on over to read The Magnificent Mrs. M.
