Teacher Appreciation

The strep test results finally posted, and I was right. (I love saying those 3 little words.)
A full 48 hours after we saw the doctor, we have confirmation of strep. Hello 1972.

Thankfully, the doctor suspected an infection and we started the antibiotic on Monday. The boy is LOTS better, and I sent his bee-hiney back to school.

This is the conversation we had yesterday while sitting at the table.
I was paying bills and balancing my checkbook. (Does ANYone else still do that besides me?)
The boy was doing his homework... 3 days worth... and talking non-stop.

I like to call this...

"Reason #8564 I Don't Homeschool" or "He's Like a Monkey on Crack"

Me: "You have GOT to be quiet. I don't know how you do your homework with all that jabbering."

The boy: "I don't know how you work without talking."

PS... It IS Teacher Appreciation Week. And I REALLY appreciate my son's.
Go hug a teacher today! Or better yet, take her/him some lunch. Or a cup of coffee. If I could, I would send the boy's teacher on a cruise. She deserves it.
