Mercedes has had the flu all weekend. Bless her heart. She's slept all weekend long, and I've been pumping fluids (and Tylenol) into her. She flopped on the couch most of the day.
However, I had to go to Salt Lake to clean an office for a client. So I hauled the kids along with me. I'm so glad I did - the job went so much faster with their help! Mercedes vacuumed the floors, Jared helped me polish the furniture and take out the trash, and instead of the 2 hour job it would have been, we were done in 20 minutes. I was able to get back early, get my grandson from public school, and meet with my business partner an hour before I would have without their help!
Jared diligently did his schoolwork. Mercedes, like I said, flopped on the couch and watched Harry Potter. But, as I said, she's not feeling well, so I didn't worry about it too much today. If they'd gone to public school, they'd have been in Valentines Day parties all day long, anyway.
It was nice to be able to teach - and show - them that their efforts are valuable. This is real-life stuff here. And that's what I want them to learn!
