No School

It's official. The kids' school is called off today through Fri due to over 30% being out with flu-like symptoms. Yesterday started off with 33 students gone, and 5 more were sent home during the day. Thankfully E and J are doing better (although E still isn't completely well), and the other kids haven't caught it. All school-related events are cancelled, too. Hopefully this will give all the sick kiddos time to heal and prevent more from coming down with it.

Since I didn't get in to work during the day yesterday due to being home with sick kids, I went in last night after supper. I worked for about an hour, took an hour off to attend the ladies' aid meeting, and then worked almost 2 more hours, getting home around 10:00.

Josh is coming home from work today around 11:30 so that I can get in and work today til suppertime.

On a good note, the hydrocortisone cream prescription the dr gave us for F's legs is working wonderfully, and we're only 2 weeks into using it! The places on her legs where the really bad sores were is still slightly darker than the rest of her skin, but the skin there is just as smooth as that on the rest of her body, and F says it doesn't itch anymore either. Thank you, God, for finally letting us find the healing solution for her!
