Sick Day/Snow Day

Sam has been coughing for over two weeks.  We had checked with the ER Sunday and they felt like waiting until his scheduled appointment on Wednesday was ok.  Oops- the poor kid has walking pneumonia.  Now he coughed big and bad,  on and off, but never had a fever, complained or acted sick.  He even asked me to stop asking about the cough!  He was given medication and told no school for at least 24 hours.  Dave said the boy was super excited- he finally was going to have a sick day from school. (His poor sister has missed 3 days in the past two weeks due to a stomach bug- so he has been envious of her staying home)  Well this morning I got a text at 5:15 stating we had a snow day- Dave and I go up and looked out the window and this is what we saw:

We couldn't believe it and then thought- Sam is going to be so mad.  When Sam woke me up at 7:30 and I said we will all be home today because of snow his face dropped.  He ended up having a fine day of beating me in monopoly, playing with his sister and her friend, and watching plenty of TV.  Yet at bedtime- he said, "I have to go to school tomorrow?  Today was supposed to be my sick day!"

I had to reply with sorry, but you have been fine so the plan will be for school tomorrow.  The less than happy boy went to bed.  Let's hope the cough continues to get better and the snow continues to melt!  Happy Snow Day- May 2, 2013
