January 11, 2006 Only 79 Days Until April 
After last week's puke prologue and this weekend's pukefest, I put in a request for a few days of reasonable health. My request was apparently denied, since I spent two hours last night wide awake from nausea before Frances woke up coughing at 3:00--and that was it for the night. She could not sleep for coughing so hard (and that was with her mattress elevated), so neither could we. I'm using a sick day to stay home with her. She can't go in to daycare on six hours sleep. And I can't go into work on ... I don't even want to do the math. Nowhere freaking near enough. Being less than 12 inches from a toddler coughing with her whole body for fifty minutes out of sixty will, of course, doom me to this cold myself in a few days, at which point I will need to call in sick again. *sigh* Every month I tell myself this will be the month I don't call in sick. And every month that resolution is smashed to itty bitty mucousy bits. Thank goodness for a generous sick leave package.

I hope that Frances feels better soon and that you do not get sick. Posted by: ccw at January 11, 2006 9:17 AM
I hope tonight is better for you, and you all recover soon. Posted by: Phantom Scribbler at January 11, 2006 11:04 AM
