Homeschool Blues

I am so disappointed, Luke was up last night puking and having diarrhea. Normally I don't mind these nights to much, but this means that the much anticipated weekend away for Nate and I at the Homeschool conference is not going to happen. Luke is still having cramps and the runs this morning, so even if he was feeling better friday, we still couldn't go because my parents were going to watch them for us, and it might hit the other boys while we are gone. My parents are going on vacation next thursday, so I don't want to take the chance of exposing them and ruining their plans. They will be attending a long time friends wedding up in PA, so stomach problems would be bad. Also ever since my dad had cancer, I try to keep the kids away from him whenever they are sick, things linger longer with older folks. If I am not sick I plan to drive down to Atl on saturday and shop only. I have no idea what materials I want to use for next year, so I was already coming to this conference unprepared. Oh well, such is life, at least I can be thankful that this didn't happen while we were on vacation, in 9 days.
