Arrgh

It's Thursday and Maggie's class is having it's Holiday party. She has gifts for everyone - well except for the two boys, we were going to get those this morning. But no can do. Maggie is too sick to go to school. She's been fighting this on and off for weeks. In fact she's been on three different courses of antibiotics but it's just getting worse. We are headed to pulmonology later today. They need to figure out which antibiotic will kill this stupid bug which I fear is now a pneumonia. She's pretty sick.

Because of the inefficiency of the system, the bus still showed up at my house and rather than waste the trip, I had the driver bring in all the gifts. The boys will have to wait, but the teacher will make sure they don't realize the girls are getting something. I hate to be mean, but that's not too difficult with these students.

The worst is yet to come, though. Maggie is too sick to go to school, she's missing her party AND her computer crashed. That means she can't communicate and it's driving her crazy. I'm emailing the speech therapist who has everything on back up. I have to get a hold of her before the school closes for the break tomorrow.

On a happier note the elevator guy was here this morning by 8AM. Turns out the gear was covered in ice. Easily fixed.

I still have a thousand things to do around here to get ready for Christmas. Oh well, it's entirely possible that some of it does not get done.

Que sera sera.
