Helen is off school for the second day in a row. She started with a temperature on Sunday night, was very sorry for herself yesterday (temperature reached just over 103 deg F) and is a bit better today but still had a temperature over 102 deg F this morning.
When Rachel got home from school yesterday she said: "Helen, I missed you". When she got home from school today she told me: "I missed Helen again".
Also after school yesterday, Rachel was telling me about other kids in her class who had been misbehaving. When I asked her if she had been at all naughty she said: "No. I save that for when I get home"!
