Well, if I'm negletful of your blogs at the moment, it's only because Deion has Laryngitis...of course, you'd think it would shut him up, but not Deion, he's managing to be demanding still.
I am worn out, run ragged, had two hours sleep in the last three days and am going stir crazy from being stuck in the house.
Of course I have some guilt to deal with on top of that...when I was a kid, I would have to have a concussion, a nosebleed, chickenpox and possibly be missing a limb to get a day off school...so when Deion moaned about a sore throat the other morning, I took his temperature (fine) checked his throat (no redness) and got him off to school.
I got a phone call about an hour later saying Deion did have a temperature. So I picked him up, took him straight round the doctors, who confirmed laryngitis...so then I felt bad...and it was made worse when I told the doctor he was fine before school..."but I told you mummy" Deion announced, "I told you I wasn't well, but you said I had to go to school."
So now the doctor thinks I'm a cruel mum...oh well!

My mom would've done the same thing. She made me go to school the day after (a Friday) an out-patient surgery! She said, "You can go in a wheelchair." Which I did for 2 weeks. lol!
I hope he gets better SOON!!!

LOL. I would have done the very same thing. And I'm sure the doc has heard worse;)

I hope he gets better soon too.
I remember when my kids were in school, I kept them home when they were sick, but one day, my daughter fell getting on the bus. She had a pretty bad cut on her forehead. The driver told her she should go tell mom, but she said, "No, mom will get mad." He made her come back in, and I didn't get mad, but took her to the DR...8 stitches.
Was I that hard on my kids that I made them go to school when they didn't feel well?

I'm a nurse and I always made my kids go to school unless I really saw symptoms. I'd often tell them they could call me if they didn't feel better by snack or lunch. And they rarely did.
Don't feel bad; sounds likes he's getting lots of lovin' now.

I do the same with my son. They sure can embarrass us though, can't they?! Hope you get yourself a break. And I hope Deion starts feeling better. Take care!

Awww - poor thing. Here's to hoping he feels better soon. And don't be too hard on yourself...I think most mothers would have done the exact same thing.
