This week I picked up my 7th-grader from school and when he got in the car, his eyes welled up with tears and he started crying.
I said, “um, what happened?! Are you ok?! What is going on?!”
Through tears he said he felt horrible and could hardly make it up the stairs to his last class.
I touched his forehead and right away knew he had a fever.
I was incredulous…”What the heck?! Why didn’t you call me? Why didn’t you go to the nurse’s office?! I would have come and picked you up in a heartbeat!!”
His response? “I didn’t want to bother you.”
WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY?!
I guess not.
But now he does!
Maybe.
I might have been a little busy making these super cute Easter baskets!!!
