Carter stayed home from school today not feeling well, and it wasn't because of the copious amounts of candy he brought home and then tried to eat last night. Along with a snotty nose and cough, his jaw was really tender on the right side of his face - I was thinking, "WE IMMUNIZED!! This better not be mumps or some weird disease!!".
Thankfully, he later remembered that he and another kid bumped into each other and knocked each other down on the pavement last night, and he landed on his face and then rolled over and hit the back of his head, which - when he touched it - was also sore. Whew! Problem solved.
Today is Thankfulness Day #1, and I am thankful for indoor plumbing. I'm glad I was born into an era where that function is firmly in place and working well. Otherwise, YIKES.
