I called in to work today. After traveling 60 miles roundtrip to pick up my sick baby from my mom's and then getting puked on as soon as I strapped him into the carseat, it seemed like the right thing to do. We didn't get home until 12:30, I had no idea how or if he would sleep, and my ability to get up and go to work at 5:00 seemed questionable.
He slept ok, and woke up at 6:00 fairly cheerful. He doesn't stay cheerful for very long though and he is running a low grade fever. My kids have had more illnesses this spring than any of them have ever had in their lives. I hope we all catch a break soon.
