Back to Normal Life

Posted by

I loved the long weekend with the kids. It was great! We had so much fun and got to spend lots of time with family. Now apparently at 2:15am Monday, December 28th we are back to normal life. Zach won’t sleep in his crib and wants held. He felt quite warm so we decided to take his temperature. That’s right folks, you got it. He is running a fever of 102.5. I guess we will be calling my mother-in-law in a couple of hours and hope she can watch him for the day. I don’t have anymore time off at work and it would be another unexcused for me and Dave’s work requires a doctors note if you are sick after a holiday weekend. Oh why can’t we just win the Powerball so both Dave and I can stay home with the kids whenever we want. Come on Powerball!

It really shouldn’t be this hard to take care of your children in that you have juggle around with your work places to try and figure out who can stay home with the kids when they get sick. I am not sure how our work places could change and make it better, but we need to figure out a way.

    I get frustrated with that, too. 7 measely days off does not go far enough! And I don’t even work year round.

    So they say NOT to go to work when you are sick and infect everyone, don’t send sick kids to daycare, but you are only alloted a very limited number of paid days off. UGH!

    I’m down to one PTO day left, with 100 days of school and we haven’t even hit flu season.

    Yay.
