I'm so sorry DD isn't feeling well.

It is difficult staying home with them. When I worked at the hospital, I couldn't take any paid time if DS was sick. Only if I were.

Gee...let's encourage the employees to lie!

I never did because there were plenty of additional days I wanted to be off and get paid for!!

But it does hurt when the smaller paycheck comes in. I hope DD feels better soon. Aren't those days horrible? I remember giving DS Tylenol or Motrin in the morning to get the temp down to where he was okay to go. I told him that if he really felt lousy, tell the teacher. They'd send him to the nurse and I'd get a call to pick him up. Never happened. He was fine the rest of the day. But those days with 101, I'd just stay home with him. Tough choices single parents have to make. But a three day week sounds great! Don't you wish it were a three day work week all the time? I would LOVE it! See how (un)excited I am about job hunting.

I've been off two years now...a year and a half back in college, three months since the move...where's the missing three months?

LOL! I still don't want to go back to work, but it's getting to where I don't have a choice.

Life shouldn't be like this at this age. Oh, well! Have a good day with DD, Legs. Good mom/daughter time when they aren't feeling well and look for the extra attention.
