Why, oh why?

So PB is sick. For several weeks now she's been having trouble remembering what she needs to do. Inhaler not being taken, medicine forgotten, jackets not worn. Things that I've griped at her and tried to remind her about. Things that she's done without a hitch for over 2 years. And now she's sick because of it. And I made sure to call her out in front of the doctor. So now it's her second day off of school. But I'm okay with it...it's a beautiful day and I plan to spend a good amount of time in my front yard cleaning up my flower beds and rearranging my rock edging.
