Question: My son and I are home today sick!.!.!.!.what can we do!?!?
Okay, we're both home sick today (bleh!), however where I want him to rest, I was wondering what stuff we could do that wouldn't tap his energy (cause he needs that to get better), but would be fun without tapping MY energy as well (cause I need to get better, too)!. Wow, this question SOUNDS lame!.!.!.but basically, WHAT CAN WE DO WITHOUT GETTING WORSE (as in activities to keep us from being bored)!?!?!?!?

I hope you're well enough to interact a bit - read to him!. Find a book that's just a bit beyond his level and read it out loud!. Since you're reading it, you can step out of the story just a bit to explain anything he doesn't understand - don't give it away, guide him to figuring it out for himself!.
My kids are fourteen and sixteen now; I read to them all the time!. We read all the Harry Potter books out loud as they came out; it was way, way better than TV!. Now they read all the time, books more sophisticated than a lot of adults will read!. They're not especially gifted, they're just benefitting from a good foundation - you have the opportunity to do that here!.
Card games teach on-the-fly strategy and how to compute probability (as a general rule rather than actual numerical probabilites - BORING) - but only if you understand that well enough to be able to explain it!. Otherwise, he's just going along with the luck of the draw!.
We liked to draw house floorplans and homestead ideas: a sheet of paper, a pencil, and ground rules: how big the house, how big the land, what do you want to achieve with your fantasy farm!? That kind of thing!.

Rest in the same room and let him pick what to watch on TV!.
Find a funny movie to watch!.
Let him play with something while he is resting!.
If he gets too excited, this will defeat the idea of saving his energy!. Keep it low intensity!. Maybe if things work out you may both be able to sneak a nap in!. Stay warm and drink plenty of fluids!. I hope you will feel better tomorrow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
