Life Quiz
Well, here is an interesting online quiz… The Life Quiz. No surprise, I scored high on Spirituality. I also scored low on "Body" so I guess the message is, I need to pray that I start exercising more! Click on the link above and do the quiz yourself… then please come back and let me know your high and low!
Meanwhile, Jasper is sick but believe it or not, he actually slept quite well last night. Or maybe I just didn’t hear him. The doctor did an in-office test (kinda like a pregnancy test) for Scarlet Fever because he was so certain this is the bug JJ is battling. The test was negative but has a 15% margin for error. Therefore, the doc also took a throat swab to get more conclusive results. (Isn’t the definition of insanity going down the same tunnel over and over again while expecting a different result?) Last night JJ looked a little better and his rash subsided. This morning he didnt look so good, rash was back on his face in full force and temperature raging away. Hard to say if JJ is vomitting from the illness – we still dont know for sure what he has! – or from coughing because excessive coughing will certainly cause him to throw-up. Jury’s out on that one. But as Tess would say, "Poor little button."
Fortunately, none of the other kids seem to have picked up this bug. But, one wouldnt know this judging by the sounds they were making this morning before leaving the flat. The Terrific Trio were whinging and whining away left, right and centre. Also, Sebastian is constantly complaining about various ailments but I think that is because he’s trying to get out of going to school! Sebastian is now a walker. This means we drive him to school instead of him taking the bus. We chose this approach since De started driving to save on the bus fees while maximising the investment in driving lessons. However, Sebastian is quite conflicted about this latest development. He’s asked us several times if he can start taking the bus again. We tend to get a different opinion from him depending on his mood of the moment. Kinda like him being "sick."
Seb: My throat is hot… I am sick!
Parent: Really!? Then I guess you’ll need to have a nap and go to bed early tonight, too.
Seb: I’m not sick I just need a drink of water.
Hmmm…
