So, you actually mark your son as /absent/ on days when he is sick?
Do you do this just for your own records, or is it a state requirement??
I never even thought of doing that.  Well, I teach Aaron six days each
week... sometimes seven.  I want to skip Fridays and make that our
day of rest, but I haven't been too successful at 'resting' the last
two Fridays.   We also don't go by any hourly schedule,
and actually do projects from the time he gets up until just before I
pass out at night.  In between our homeschool projects, he plays.  On our
time sheet, I just count the minutes that each project lasted.
