Lesson Learned the hard way!

Well...everyone is miraculously better now.  Pete was truly sick Wednesday night and stayed home yesterday from school.  Just before lunch, I get a call from the school that Allie is in the nurse's office with a tummy ache.  I asked to speak to her  - meanwhile wondering if she just had to go to the "bathroom" or if her tummy really hurt. Pete & I ended up picking her up and headed back home. I told both of them they could "veg" on the couch & watch TV or read.  Little did I know, Allie was thrilled. She got to swap school for TV.  Frank came home & made an executive decision. From now on - if school is missed, then it is in bed (like he had to do as a kid). Missing school should not be fun! I never really missed school as a kid so I would NEVER have thought Allie was pulling a fast one on me. 

It ended up biting her in the bum because she had to miss dance. Once a month, they have a special teacher come in & teach hip-hop. So she cried last night because she missed dance with Isaiah.  Live & learn.  I don't think we will get too many more calls from school unless they are on their death beds!!
