So, it is Monday morning, 8.00am. Samuel and Zachary have school swimming sports. It's going to be 32 celsius - gorgeous day for it.
Son number 2 is on the toilet with the runs....and has a 'bit of a headache'. He has had a very busy weekend so that could be adding to the turmoil....
I say, 'stay home.' "But I want to go." Tears welling in his eyes. I say 'Go then.' "I have a headache and a sore tummy." 'Stay home then.' "It is my first swimming sports" Tonnes more tears...
Now - whatever I say does not seem to be the right answer.
He is upset. Crying. He is staying home - well coming to work with me. Oh joy of joys!!
Oh yes, it is MONDAY. I always loved the Boomtown Rats song 'I don't like Mondays'....
Hope it gets better from here!!!

Hi K8 (((waves))) - so nice to be wandering through blogland and visit you and your gorgeous family. :) Will enjoy catching up on all your news...
Poor sick Zachary :( You know that the reason that nothing you said was right is only because there IS no right answer, it's just a miserable day for him. I hope he's feeling much better soon and just think, it's Tuesday tomorrow. :)
I was soooo singing with you yesterday!!
Only it was Tuesday.
I love it when you blog!
Nic
