Asher and Bella were both home sick today. My poor kidlets. They spent all day snuggled up in their pajamas, mostly in front of the fire. They read so much I had to do a library run this afternoon to keep them occupied tomorrow while Simon tries to work and I am in class. There is a lot of playing on the iPad, eating clementines, sipping tea and getting dosed with elderberry syrup (which i ought to have done earlier).
I always feel so conflicted when I have to go to class and they are home sick. I know they are perfectly content and cared for, but part of me still wants to be sitting on the end of a bed or couch with them, feeling foreheads and pushing liquids, and undoubtedly making a nuisance of myself in that comfrotable way mothers do.
It is just one day. And when I come blowing in at three tomorrow, they will look up at me blinking, wondering why I am spinning in so wildly from wherever it is I have gone, and why on earth I brought them a primrose plant.
That last sentence is wonderful. So full of color, movement, and motherly love.

My kiddies have been sick too. Books are great when you're sick. They transport you far away from your bed,to somewhere else;). Beautiful pictures. I hope everyone gets well. In my house,and in yours. Christina
