Ending 1st grade

Lucas had a rather sad ending to first grade this morning. When getting ready for school today he was super excited about turning into a 2nd grader after today and we discussed all the wonderful end of year activities they had planned today. A picnic, a water fight, yearbook signing and an extra recess. While walking into the school he mentioned his stomach felt weird and I told him he just needed to eat some breakfast.
I brushed it off mainly because I was carrying a leaking 2liter into the school for the picnic. It fell out of my car and onto the ground and started spraying everywhere. See the signs for a bad a day were in front of me and I did not pay attention. The other flashing warning sign was Addi pooped her pants at his school and was screaming about getting back into her car seat but I did not one wipe or change of anything for her.
I was at work just starting to sort out my in box when the call came in. I fear any Raymore number on my work phone. I picked it up with the dreaded hell-o. This is the nurse at Raymore Elementary. Lucas has pucked all over the gym. Oh my gosh, I am the worse mom ever is what runs through my mind. I rush right over to school.
On the way over I start to think about the poor little guy. I realize he is going to be the talk of many dinner tables tonight as the kid that threw up all over the place today. It did not help any that when I picked him up he threw up all over the entry way.
I am hoping for a speedy recovery so he can enjoy the beginning of his summer!!
I am also hoping for a short memory on the part of the kids at school so when he starts summer school in two weeks no one remembers this day.
Now he is sad about missing the picnic, water fight and telling his teacher good by. Yeah, Ms. Bolding came up to him when he was leaving and that is the exact moment he started yacking everywhere. Missed her my a centimeter!! What an end to First Grade!!
