Oh that's ok! We all get a case of the "mondays"! LOL! Wow, 75 degrees, how lucky you are! That's winter weather here, Its a darn sauna march-november! Lol!

Back to your original post, I think I understand it better now. Personally, I think 48 is a little long. Now, if its a serious illness, like influenza, I think 48 is definitely appropriate, as fevers and symptoms of flu can last 3 days or more. A puke? Yeah I'd go w 24 hours. You'd just have to judge how the child is acting....I guess I'd say "24 hours, but if any symptoms return (aka 'you're busted for dope and run') you WILL have to pick him up immediately". Play it by ear...I'm not above asking verbal children "did you have medicine this morning? What color was it?" But yeah, 48 hours is long for certain things I think. I'd pm Catherder, she probably has a great reason for her policy, she's on top of the illness policies for sure. I really respect her and her policies.
