Update

We are doing better here. The boys are pretty much over the flu with just a slight cough left. I have what appears to be a common, garden variety cold that has me sneezing and coughing but otherwise okay. We did manage to do school a couple of days this week but, alas, no Ocular Athletics...

Third Hobbit Down

It's turned into sick week here at the Hobbit Homeschool. Swine flu is still the most probably diagnosis. It's not so bad. Headache and fever followed by sore throat and cough. And no energy which is very unusual around here! We've been watching alot of movies--The Return of the King, Ivanhoe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, 300 Spartans, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Alarmingly, I'm actually liking this! No dividing fractions or getting our declension endings right! I've caught up with a few (okay, more than a few!) blogs, tackled a couple of house keeping chores I've been putting off (or how thick is the algae in this fish tank??)started online Christmas shopping...I would think we have the makings of unschoolers if I thought the low energy would last but I know soon enough they will be clammering for stuff to do. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the quiet!

Sick Day

I have two hobbits down for the count and one that is not any too lively. The big question is...Is it Swine Flu or not?? I checked online and found these symptoms:

Fever-check

Cough--check

Sore throat--check

Runny/stuffy nose--check

Body aches--check

Headache--check

Chills--check

Fatigue--check

Diarrhea or vomiting--check for one hobbit but not the other.

Hmmm. Maybe or maybe not. In any event today is a day for the extended edition of The Lord of the Rings.
