While I was away, the flu was going through the girls, and I caught the tail end when I got home. Angela was off early in the week followed by Claudia. Unfortunately this was also the week for the speech competition at school. Both were able to go to school that day and do their speeches in the gym, but they weren’t 100%. Neither Claudia or Angela placed, but Susan said they did an excellent job, and Susan was the only parent there who had two kids in the gym.
