Sick Day

You poor thing, you feel so hot. Mama’s here though. I will take good care of you. Tell me what feels bad. It is your tummy, your throat, or your head?

Let’s take your temperature, hold real still. 102.5, my oh my! It’s back to bed with you. There will be no school today. I’ll call the doctor and see what he has to say.

While we wait here is a cool compress for your head. I’ll sing to you while you go back to bed. Sleep now sweet child, you will feel better soon. The doctor can fit you in this afternoon.

When you wake I’ll make you some nice warm broth and a cup of tea to comfort you, mmm, good nourishing food.

It is time to go see the doctor now. Don’t be scared he is here to help you. No shots today, just a look and a test or two to see. I’ll hold you tight while we wait for the results. Time goes so slow when you don’t feel well.

The doctor comes back in a while with the results we have been waiting for. He writes a prescription and off we go to get the medicine that will make you well.

Now it’s home to rest a little more. Mama’s here my love. I will get you what you need to make you comfortable while you recover.

We will stay home one more day, but already you are looking better. You will still have medicine for a few more days, but your sickness will soon go away.

During the night your fever breaks and in the morning when you awake, your color is back and your smile. You are full of energy once more. It’s off to school with you today, time to see all of your friends and play.

Sick

Well I missed my Friday deadline...by a long shot! It was a week filled with sickness so I decided to cut my self some slack. It is not like I have any actual readers anyway. Ha! Just my husband and he knows whats up. Well I will be back on track this week and to make it up I will just add a week on the end I think. I thought I would try to do two this week, but I am so behind on everything, that I don't want to push my luck.

One, Two, Three...Look for me.
I am hiding in a tree.
Four, Five, Six...Watch my tricks.
I can balance on these sticks
Seven, Eight, Nine...I feel fine.
I love swinging on on this vine.
Ten, Ten, Ten...Lets play again!
Over and over and over. The End.

The Best Valentine’s Day Party Ever!

Valentine’s Day was just a week away and Emmaline was very excited. She was going to have a big party at school on Friday. Each day she and her classmates worked to prepare the classroom. On Monday they cut out paper hearts and hung them all around the room. On Tuesday they made cards for each of their friends. On Wednesday they decorated boxes to collect their valentine cards in. On Thursday they planned the party and made sweet Valentine cookies to serve. When Emmaline went home Thursday she was so excited. The classroom was perfect and she could not wait until the party. The whole way home all she could think about was the party. At dinner that night the party was all she wanted to talk about. When she went to bed, she lay awake thinking about all of the fun Valentine activities planned for tomorrow. Emmaline had not been asleep long when she suddenly awoke. She had a terrible pain in her stomach. As the night went on the pain grew worse until finally her mother had to take her to the doctor. Poor Emmaline had appendicitis and was rushed into surgery to have her appendix removed. When she awoke hours later she was in a hospital room, Emmaline was crushed because she knew that she had missed her party. All of her friends were having fun exchanging valentines cards and eating the beautiful cookies they had made and she was missing out. She felt so alone. Valentine’s Day had come and gone without her. A week later Emmaline was well enough to return to school. That morning her mother was running a little late, and when she got to school all of her friends were already there. When she opened the front door to the school they all yelled “Surprise!” Emmaline looked around, and she could not believe her eyes. The classroom was still decorated. All of the Valentine boxes were still out in a row; all of the special activities were still out, even the beautiful Valentine cookies that they had made were there on the table! Emmaline had not missed the party after all. Her entire class had voted to wait for her to come back because they knew how important the party was to her. Her Valentine box was filled with pictures and letters from all of her friends, wishing her to get better and telling her how much she was missed. Emmaline was overjoyed. She felt so loved. It was the best Valentine’s Day party ever!

Oops!

Tantrum was actually last weeks story but it must not have posted. This weeks story I will post tomorrow.

Tantrum

There once was a little girl, who wanted everything in the world. There was nothing that she saw that she did not want at all. She wanted the moon and the stars and the sun. She wanted the buildings each and every one. She wanted to sing and dance and play even when it was time to stay. When she did not get everything her way, she would scream and cry and say, “I am the princess, I am the one! You must do as I say. I won’t quit until I’ve won!” Finally the day came around when her mother put her foot down. “I can’t take anymore! You may scream and kick on the floor. I no longer will give in to your each and every whim!” The little girl cried, the little girl screamed. She threw such an awful fit, but she finally gave up and quit, and do you know the funniest part? She could not even remember the start. What was it that she did not get? What could possibly have made her fret? It must not have been important at all since she could not recall, so she jumped up with a bound. Enough rolling on the ground! She then went on her way and began again to play as if nothing had happened at all. Her mother watched for a while and then she silently smiled. She had learned her lesson too, soon the tantrum is through. A princess does not always have to get her way to be happy in her play. She might tantrum for a bit but soon she will quit, and everything will be ok!

I Won't and I Will

This is the story of I won’t and I will.
I won’t was very contrary while I will was quite pleasant.
“I won’t share my toys!” I Won’t played alone.
“I will share my toys!” I Will has lots of friends.
“I won’t clean my room!” I Won’t can’t find a favorite toy.
“I will clean my room!” I Will knows just where to look.
“I won’t eat my dinner!” I Won’t is awful hungry.
“I will eat my dinner!” I Will is pleasantly full…and sometimes gets desert.
“I won’t brush my teeth!” Ouch! I Won’t has a cavity.
“I will brush my teeth!” I Will’s teeth are squeaky clean.
“I won’t go to bed!” I Won’t is tired and grumpy.
“I will go to bed!” I Will is alert and happy.
Poor I Won’t is sad and miserable while I Will is having fun.
Are you “I won’t” or “I will?”
Hmm… You decide!
