I'm not exactly sure who "they" are, but there is definitely a conspiracy to tank my grades.
In addition to my own illness in the middle of my three-day exam-a-thon, two of my kiddos have had weird stuff going on. Last Monday I had to take SS to the doc because she had an insect bite near her eye that swelled to nearly the size of a golf ball. Then on Friday, TT came home and said, "Feel my forehead, I don't feel good." Sure enough she had a fever that wouldn't go away all weekend long. She also has huge tonsils with nasty white stuff on them. The fever was gone and she seemed to be feeling better this morning, but my fears of strep throat kept her home from school and required a visit to the doctor. Yep, it's strep. So now my perky little sickie is home with me today and tomorrow.
So how does all this play into the conspiracy? Well, for starters, every time I have to drive across town to the doctor it takes away about 3 hours of desperately needed study time. And having my little darling home with me isn't helping either. Kids are demanding when they are sick--or even when they are feeling better and know they can get away with it. And she has no playmates, because her sisters at school.
Also, there is a very good chance that at least one of her sisters will pick up this little illness, requiring the whole trip-to-the-doctor-while-not-getting-anything-done-at-home scenario to play out once again. I only hope that I can keep the germs at bay until I finish my Oil and Gas exam Wednesday night.
Oh, and if you still don't believe that there is a conspiracy, just look at what was going on last year during finals.
