Murphy's Law

Of course since I enjoyed my relaxation time so much, it had to come back to bite me in the butt.

Tom is back to being grossly sick, and Aiden spiked an even higher fever and can't breathe out of his little nose because it's so stuffy and runny. To put things into perspective - he usually goes to bed around 7/7:30 but no later than 8pm every night, all depending on how tired he is. After shopping all day with my mom and I, he came home at 7:30 completely exhausted and still managed to scream and cry for two and half more hours, mostly because he couldn't breathe. My poor baby is completely miserable with yet another cold/flu and there's not a whole lot I can do about the situation.

I may end up having to take yet another day off from work to care for my ill child and cart him off to the doctor for what seems like the hundredth time. Tom is too sick to care for him, and my mom has taken care of him more than enough lately, plus is not comfortable watching him when he's this sick. I really don't wanna have to leave my co-workers in yet another bind, and I hate coming across as an unreliable employee, but I have to do what's best for my son too.
Being a working mom is way harder than I ever imagined.

Farewell calm and laziness. I will miss you.
