"I Feel Rotten"



"I feel rotten" is what we have been hearing Riley say over the last day and a half. She woke up yesterday morning claiming she didn't feel good, but being the great mom I am I patted her on the head, told her she would feel better soon, and packed her off to school. (In my defense, if I had a dollar for every time she said she had a stomach ache (which is really code for I don't want to do what I am supposed to do) I would be a rich woman). As soon as I saw her coming out of school when I went to pick her up I knew she really didn't feel good. Her face was pale, she had dark circles under her eyes, and she was running a fever. And it went downhill from there. Last night she was begging me to put her to bed at 6:45 (NOT normal behavior!). I kept her home from school today, and plan on doing the same tomorrow, as she is still feverish and complaining of "hurting all over". Hopefully she feels better soon!

Poor Ryree! Suggie is really worried about "my best friend". Hope she's feeling better today. I laughed when I saw your poll because I've been thinking the same thing! :)

Oh no! You are one of those parents who sends their kids to school sick. J/K! I have the same kids who tell me everyday they are sick so I understand. Hope she feels better!
