Hey - look what the cat dragged in - it's me! Yeah, I haven't been around much because we've been SO busy. We leave tomorrow for Boston & skiing in Vermont. I'll try to keep up with the thread, but certainly won't be responding much.
Had a rough day yesterday. Eric got 4 warts on his hand lasered with involved using a long needle to go under each one and numb it first.

Then I got to rush over to a different doc with Matt. His thumb was all red and swollen and, evidently, infected. So I next got to watch them slice and dice it to get (this is the technical term the doctor used) the "nasties" out! A fun morning of watching my sons get tortured.
Came home to a note from the school district telling me that Eric is truant for the year since he's missed more than 10 days of school. Well, I doubt that he's missed much more than 10 HOURS of school, but evidently according to their policy they spelled out for me "missing any portion of the school day constitutes an absence for that day"!

So all the times I pulled him out of gym or band first hour (he has study hall second hour) to go to the ortho or get his warts treated counted as full days of missed school. Tell me that makes sense. The letter gave no guidance as to what this signified, other than to tell us that we need to watch his absences carefully in the future!
Off to do more packing now that I've turned in my absence form to Mac for the next week!

Don't want to be marked truant!
