( HUNDREDS GATHER TO PROTEST GLOBAL WARMING... )

Both boys are off sick today. They've both got coughs, Toby has a slight temp, and Alex had a raging fever on Friday and much of Saturday. They might be well enough to go, as they aren't coughing all of the time, but when they do, it's pretty bad. Definitely in the "if I heard a child coughing like that at school, I'd be wondering what the parents were thinking letting that child go to school" category.

I was going to decorate the tree and house today in relative peace, but now I think it's going to be in pieces instead, literally and figuratively. Oh well, wish me luck.
