It's snowing just a bit (Sis said it looked like falling sugar), with sleet on the way, so the school called an early dismissal and both kids are laughing together upstairs.
Sis didn't go to school today, as advised by the pediatrician who we saw Friday about pneumonia (it's not), which means I spent my third Monday in a row with a sick child at home. I would say that's oppressive, but then I think about the truly ill children who are receiving long-term care for critical illnesses--like their classmate with cancer--and I feel for their parents. Especially because I know that our normal life resumes tomorrow with both kids healthy and back in school, something parents of ill children can only dream of.
