sick

Nose is spewing like a geyser, making it difficult to attend to the on-paper revisions (let alone come up with that elusive ending). I did bring a few chapters to the doctor's office today while waiting for son 2 to be seen. His tonsils are large, but the doctor doesn't think it's tonsillitis per se. He still gave us an antibiotic prescription. I waited a few days, but on day 3 we still have big tonsils, fever, and exhaustion. So we'll try the antibiotics.

In the meantime I'm washing daughter 1's slippers. I hope the glue holds on them. They did paper mache in kindergarten on Friday and the slippers got coated, so they washed them out in the sink and left them to dry on the radiator over the weekend. Well, someone broke into the kindergarten via the bathroom window, and the entire floor, drying slippers, toothbrushes, etc. are now all full of glass shards. My daughter says the police came while they were there and took fingerprints and everything. The kids weren't allowed on the playground today (probably so they could inspect it, since the window is to there). Supposedly a guitar was stolen. I'm trying to think what on earth is so valuable in a kindergarten. They have some computers, okay, but mostly it's, you know, used snowpants and alphabet magnets.

Sorry about the nose and daughter's shoes and son's tonsils...I'm think you need some spring already!

Well, it's supposed to be 59 degrees on Tuesday, which would definitely be springish! However, sick son still went to bed at 6 pm last night, and now I'm awake at 1 am because of the cold--the kind where your nose runs like a river and it's hard to sleep, even though you desperately want to. Arg. I want to see the sun today!

Wow, that is kind of strange, breaking into a kindergarten. That's more scary for the children's safety than for the classrooms.

Once, when I was at school in Brazil, these criminals held up a skyscraper next to our school, and then when the police came they jumped out of the skyscraper windows into the school's tennis courts, which luckily had 20 feet metal fencing around them and happened to be locked. They definitely did not mean to end up on our school grounds--maybe they thought it was something other than a kindergarten.

I hope you get feeling better soon!

I think it was just kids. Mostly they made a mess of things, strewed diapers all over, dumped stuff out, etc. The neighborhood is okay, but on warm nights we can sometimes hear groups of "youths" pretty late into the night with nothing better to do but drink on the corner.

The kindergarten is brand new, too. People are not pleased.

"Used snowpants and alphabet magnets" LOL! I hope you all feel better soon!
