Can you drop out in Kindergarten?

We finally got our first measurable snow Friday night (and no, I didn't measure it, I'm just assuming it was about 3 or 4 inches - we had to shovel. It would have been a waste to fire up the snowblower for such light snow (and I'm not even sure if there's gas in the snowblower!))....and the forecast for the first part of the week has windchills in the negative 20 degree range...A couple Fridays ago school was cancelled because of the cold. I'm doubting the powers that be will cancel school tomorrow because of the cold, but hopefully there will be a delay.

C had perfect attendance until we went on vacation last month. Since we've been back, she's been sent home twice for throwing up. I understand, the school doesn't want to take a chance on some nasty stomach bug going around (I had one in December, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy) but she's not sick with that. She's congested and that's how it ends up for her. So, the first week we were back she was sent home on Thursday, school was cancelled Friday. Last week, she was on the bus when it happened again. She missed all Thursday and Friday.

I'm beginning to understand my mother's attitude towards sending us to school - unless there was blood, we went to school. I know, you're thinking I'm heartless. But C was jumping off the couch the days she was home (and there wasn't any fever, so really, no reason to even call the doctor). And she wanted to take a road trip to Pennsylvania to see the groundhog!

Hopefully, even with the windchills, we'll make it through this entire week.
