So, I sidestepped the question with Cal...I asked him why he was asking, tried to figure out how he was feeling about school, asked if his peers were talking about staying home sick etc.

Ruth: so glad! I love that recipe.

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments and for visiting! xo

When I was in school, I used to get sick periodically with a random fever. Mom would come get me, I would sleep for a couple of hours and then would be fine, and could enjoy the rest of the day. And...I still do that. If I get too tired, or don't take care of myself I inevitably sprout a weird, random fever.

Jonah and Cal were on the same wavelength yesterday. After he came home from school, he sat at the kitchen counter and mused about he would like a day off from the hustle and bustle of school, just to stay home and be quiet.

The boys are going to begin to learn important life lessons...

We were on the same dessert wavelength... I made Coconut Aborio Rice Pudding for dessert on Tuesday (from Food & Wine magazine, either December or January) and it was DELICIOUS! Had 1.5 bowls.... xoxo

We have had heavy frost and fog here the past four days. The trees are absolutely gorgeous all covered in white. Today, however, we are in the middle of an ice storm :( I'll admit I got "sick" once at school and had to go home early... and it just happened to be right before a test.

Thanks for sharing your day. Kuddos to the teacher. I'm curious how did you answer Cal's question? I'm lucky I wasn't the one that had to answer. I think I did this more than once. smile... xo

Lecia-

I love so much about this post. It has me feeling wistful, I think. You write so well and true about your life, your thoughts, this world we live in. I appreciate it greatly.

Thanks, also for the list of bliss. I'm reading Bird by Bird and it has me reliving moments in my mind that one day I wish to put on paper...

I have a strong feeling you pointed Abbott in the right direction. But what about Cal? It sounds like he has thoughts about this staying home for a day. I know I've done it as a kid, and watched cartoons and read. :)

What did you answer Cal:)?
