Day 188:. Garbage day... But aren't they all? Garbage made it out while I was making breakfast. Eggs all around this morning. Packed the boys lunch, stuck it in his bag... He got in a video before heading out to the bus. What to do today? Paper work. Had to document some of the work that needs done on the house. Took about 50 photos and added descriptions... Ok now I know what needs done... Now I just need the time and energy to do the work. Argh! Lawson walked in... 3:30 all ready? Damn. Heather called to let me know she would be home late... Needed to take a phone call before she got home. I took the extra time to try and figure out what the boy is actually allowed to bring in his lunch... There are people with allergies in his class but I wanted to know more specifically what people are allergic to, so we don't kill anyone. On the 3rd email back from the school is was down to no nuts or fish... Which didn't help much. Fish or shellfish? I know Lawson said fish but had his lunch taken from him last year for having shrimp... Now the chances are good that if you are allergic to fish you should be fine with shellfish... One is a vertebrate the other isn't... They are about as closely related as a fly is to a hippopotamus. 2 totally different allergies. So which is it? Same with nuts... Are we talking tree nuts? Legumes? Fruit like the coconut? What about coco-beans? Or is it a "we just tell them all of those" so no one makes a mistake? I almost feel like they should register a doctor's report with the school and post it so the other parents know exactly what we can or can't send... Just a little help in keeping children alive, seems important to me. Heather made it home and put an end to my emails to the school. Time to make dinner... Ok maybe past time... I helped a bit but wasn't very useful... Still very sore, headache, sore eyes even... Could be the weather. After dinner we managed to squeeze in a movie before bed.
