mumps

Tuesday Jul 10, 2007

Today, I got a telephone call from the elementaray school my daghter goes.  According to her teacher, my daughter felt sick during lunch time and she was in an infirmary at school.  I was very surprised to hear that and thought that she might have gotten mumps.   3days ago, a friend of hers got mumps and that friend has been absent from school.   Her mother told me that when we got mumps, we have to stay at home for at least a week. 

As a matter of fact, this comming Thursday I’m going to have a presentation for my English classes.  I mean here is a presentation that my students are going to offer.   And that friend above, is one of my students.   I’m very sorry that she can’t come to the presentation.  As for my daughter, when she came back home, she looked no problem.  I asked her “Are you all right?”.  The answer was “Yes!”.   How much I got relieved!  I suppose that wearing a long sleeve T-shirt made her feel sick.   This morning it was a little bit cold and she wanted to wear a long sleeve one.  

After she ate some bread I baked as an afternoon snack, my daughter, my son, and I had a wonderful time painting some picture on a big paper.   Now that art is dancing with some clothepin at my veranda as washed clothes.
