Back to school and the kids are in a bad mood
Christmas vacation is over and they only have two days of school this week. I bounced them 05:00 for high school let’s go. Then I bounced them again at 05:10 the one son comes down first.
Son who is sixteen - dad feel my head do I have a fever
Then he produces a few fake coughs and sniffles. So as a loving father I go into triage mode. I grab him hands on his cheeks and kiss his forehead. And say nope your as cold as ice go eat breakfast.
Son who is fifteen comes down- dad
I have diarrhea. I say really he says yea I think it was the pork roast maybe the sauerkraut.
Dad -Wow you two are on the same page. And you pulling a skate and putting it all on your mothers stuffed pork roast and sauerkraut . I go play drama on him the woman that carried you in her womb. Has now caused you the shits with a dinner she prepared with love you poor child.
He walks away mumbling. How stupid it is to have school for only two days this week. I respond hey what a coincidence I only have two night shifts left this week as well. What a pair actually they both like school. They are both on honor roll and yet starting back on a Thursday had their asses frosted it’s a mutiny .

Dog children are immensely easier and more "trainable"... 
For your compassion 
I took these two days vacation and am actually sick 
. Been sick with a fever/cold/cough thing since Xmas eve. Seems whenever I stealthy take vacation to get stuff done, either the kids or I get legitimately sick and plans go down the tubes. Son’s gf teaches, and she’s sick. The strong antibiotic she’s on is messing with her stomach. Couldn’t get a sub though.
Yeah. They should have just extended break.
We go back Monday
