Ugh. Kouryou-chan is diseased.

[elfs]

Kouryou-chan came down with stomach flu this weekend. It started with a croupy cough and migrated into something more disgusting. I got no sleep either Saturday or Sunday night, and I spent most of Monday with the carpet machine, cleaning out both my car and the path between her bedroom and her bathroom. She's so disappointed; Monday there was going to be a "flying up" ceremony, a graduation, for her moving from Primary to Elementary school over at the Montessori. Damn. Poor little girl; she spent a lot of time curled up in either my or Omaha's arms. She did keep down her dinner, which was mostly just plain cous-cous, which I take as a good sign.

Yamaraashi-chan came home with a cool dictionary, a gift from the Rotary club. It was the Houghton-Mifflin Elementary Student's Dictionary. Oh good, that means the girls won't fight over the one we already have.

Yamaraashi-chan gave me the coolest Father's Day card. It was a hand-made card with a note inside, a list of all the things I do that make her giggle.

I was supposed to go out with a friend tonight. Don't think I'm going to be coherent enough to make it.

I've been missing your posts re the girls. (I also miss the times when MY daughters were their ages, but that's a different thread)

Have you created a "family info posts" filter, and if so, may I get on it?

Thanks.

Thanks for the image. That is a very treasured card I'm sure.

The Grange is doing the dictionary project, too. It's called Words for Thirds, and gives a dictionary to all third-graders.
