Bad Dad

Tuesday Feb 7

Alex is home sick for a second day in a row. He's perky but still has a fever and sore throat. Kim's been a trooper but if the fever persists and he's home again tomorrow, I'm gonna have to be the trooper.

Drama in the halls of our local government. It appears someone who has always called for more transparency may not have been competent enough to comply with existing transparency statutes. Hopefully that wasn't the case. I also don't care to speculate about the possibility that this ouster was the result of some intrigue. How much mischief can one get into in DKgovt?

I'm not going to speak ill of the hopelessly annoying. Lord knows I can be just as annoying, and I am not even a public servant.



Wed Feb 8

Home with Alex. Took him to see the physician's assistant at KMA. He has the strep. Dammit. Kim thought we should've taken him to the dr. as early as Monday but I was like, "Ahhh just rub some dirt on his throat or something. He'll be ok.

I'm a bad dad.

I feel like calling DCFS on myself, yet again.

Sherry @ KMA put him on an anti-biotic for 10 days and he has to be fever-free for 24 hours before he can go back to school.

Ten years into this parenting racket and I still suck!
