It’s Been a Long Week
My daughter is starting to go on the mend, but she’s still sick today. As for me, I’m so glad not to be teaching–an illness that lasts 3-4 days is just brutal for a teacher. My kids always had a knack for getting sick just when my husband was out of town and during 3rd class period.
But anyway, she’s bouncing around, singing and skipping, despite the 102 fever. I’ll never understand how kids can be that cheerful with high fevers. I would be half dead if I had the fevers she’s had this week, but she’s managing to keep her spirits up.
If any of you live in the southeastern or Virginia Beach areas, please come this Sunday between noon and four p.m.! There will be around 145 authors (including me) signing books at Town Point Park for the Books in the Park festival. Hope to see you there!

Glad to hear your daughter is on the mend. Have fun at the booksigning. A day earlier and I would have made a point to say hello.
Amy Says:
Glad she’s on the mend. The most trying time of a child’s illness, IMO, is that stage where they’re too sick to be able to do things, but well enough to WANT to do things. Very hard to keep them still at that point.
Fedora Says:
SO glad she’s feeling better! So sorry to be missing the fun at the signing–have a fabulous time!

Oh, the books in the park festival sounds like fun! Looks like your dh will be home watching the sick kiddo so you’ll get a break!
(and how do kids bounce from deathly sick miserable to bouncing off the walls…in like a minute’s time)
