first sickness this school year

And the winner is Kason!  Yup, he is the first one that gets to stay home from school this year.  He had a bad diarrhea last night and it kept him up a lot and even though he seems fine I don't want him having it at school and I know he'll be tired too.  I probably haven't been happier to have a child home sick because I finally feel needed :) and it is so nice to not have to worry about taking time off from work to be with a sick child.  I'm a bit tired from all the interruptions to my sleep last night but having Kason home makes me happy.  Here I thought the kids were going to be attached to me when the school started but I'm finding out it is me who's attached and misses them while they're gone. :)

So after I wrote my post yesterday the kids came home from school telling me I wasn't on the sub list and have to call the school.  I could not believe it.  I made sure I called (and not just once) to be sure I was on the calling list.  But sure enough, the school's secretary was using an old list for some reason and when my friend who is a music teacher went to ask for me the secretary just told her I wasn't on the list.  I was so glad that my friend asked about it so quickly because I would have no idea I wasn't on there.  I called the person in charge who is not at the school and she once again said I was on the list, although she had my old phone number for me which I know I personally talked to her to get that updated.  Makes you wonder what these administrators do all day and missing something as important as having the subs' names and phone numbers in order.  Well, I'm glad I stayed on top of it and I hope I can still sub for my friend because she'll be gone for the whole week soon and it would be nice to get paid for 5 days.  Plus, when a music teacher is gone there's not much to do with the kids and they usually just watch a video so it would be very easy.  Kason and Anika both have this teacher so it would be fun to see their classes too.
