Lux was home today

lux stayed home sick today - i should have kept her home yesterday (monday) i assumed she wasn't that sick, but after last night, having us up every hour with a fever, sore throat, head ache, tummy ache, poor kid felt terrible.

i think i realized what worries me most when she is sick is that huxley never catches, never. and i wonder why, why wouldn't he catch it, they touch the same things, he drinks out of her cups (when i'm not looking), etc etc. shouldn't your kids pass their sicknesses back and forth, thought this was part of the territory...

i attempted to nap when they were down and then realized since EVERY time i have attempted to nap when they nap, or at least he naps and she is busy or elsewhere, my napping wakes them up - it must send them a message from my bedroom door thru theirs "mom is sleeping, wake up" and so they wake up and i just fell asleep. lol. and why the hell should i be napping, is the better question. but shit i love to nap!

he wanders around the house yelling "momma??" "daddy??" "sissy??" and we say "yes" and he yells "toothpaste" or "ice ceam" or "beiber" or rather most of the time "dusicdbdsong". i think he just likes having a dialogue with us, experimenting with calling out to us to create a connection and a dialogue.

tomorrow she must be better, they are doing their classroom auction project, the jackson pollock paintings. she will be very disappointed to miss it and we'll be disappointed not to have the opportunity to bid on her piece!
