Day 1761. On Wednesday, Randy took Emmy to his exercise class - the last one before the summer break - while I stayed home with the other two. On Thursday I had students in the morning and afternoon. Randy had found out in the morning that Tammy can only join the other kids on their kindergarten trip on Friday...

Day 1758. The boys were up early again, and then it didn't take long for Tammy to wake up and get up. Randy left with Emmy around 8:30 to take him to kindergarten, while the other two stayed at home with me. Today they broke out even more, and Sammy is worse off than Tammy or than Emmy was. I feel bad for them.

Day 1757. Sammy has been getting up really early, and today he was staying home, as was his sister. Randy left only with Emmy to take him to kindergarten. Tammy and Sammy are now covered in bumps from the chickenpox the way Emmy was two weeks ago. Since they stayed home, there was no sleeping for me.
