Elementary Talk

My Christmas cactus think they are Halloween cactus!

Trucker has been home sick from school for two days. Trucker has a fever that comes and goes. When he got off the bus Wednesday he told me he was tired and he went right to the couch and laid down. He didn’t even take off his coat, hat or boots. He did not want a snack to tide him over until supper was finished. He always eats after school and he never lies on the couch. He has a fever that comes and goes and his nose is running continuously. Several schools in our area have been closed for one to four days due to illness. I don’t know if our school is getting close to that point yet or not, but I know there have been several students out. The Princess developed a sore throat last night, but has no fever.

I subbed in the elementary/middle school library yesterday. One little girl was not her usual smiling, happy self. The other teacher noticed and told her to go the office and let them know she did not feel well. The office called back, that poor little girl had a temp of 103*.

While in the library yesterday an elementary class came in to check out books. As I was checking out books to one little boy I noticed he had the same last name as a little girl I had just finished helping. I asked him if they were cousins or siblings. He informed me that they were twins and that he was her big brother because he was eleven minutes older!
