5 Minute Note

Since the sick notes thing has taken off, I have had to get more creative.  This usually means starting the note the night before to get it to where I like it.  10 minutes before the kids needed to leave for the bus this morning, I realized I had not written a sick note.  And since I had forgotten to call his absence in, there was no way around it.  So it's much closer to my earlier notes, but it made me laugh.

First Middle School Note

The kids have been healthy during the week, so this is actually the first sick note to go to the middle school.  I figured I would go easy on them until they get accustomed to "that weird dad."
