So Frustrating!

Four months into being back at work, and I'm pretty certain I've used all 8 of my sick days up. That's right folks, all 8 of them - and did I mention I haven't used one of them on me. 

We are going on our third day of Alexis being at home with the "poops" to put it in somewhat nicer words, and since Alexis goes to daycare our work policy is if they are having the "poops" they cannot be there. So Derek and I have been taking turns being at home with her.

I was hoping to send her today, but when we woke her up there was a little gift in her errrrr diaper. Then while we were throwing around ideas as to what we should do - Alexis dropped another little gift off in her diaper, which pretty much sealed her fate for the day and that she would once again be staying at home.

For other people, calling in sick is probably nothing, but when you have to call a list of supplies, find one, explain your shift, then call a supervisor or work to let them know ... it makes me feel bad. I feel bad letting my co-worker know that I won't be in (when I know the children will be crazy today as they have been the last couple days - pretty much forcing us to drink at night! lol and I'm not kidding), I feel bad using yet another sick day, and I feel as thought I'm letting my supervisor down. I know this is stupid because at some point everyone gets sick, and this is especially true for small children ... but its just the way I feel.

Anyways, I'm off to clean more "poops" of Alexis clothes, and play with her (seeing as that is the only real problem that she has), and probably blog some more.

Have a good day everyone!

Does this look like the face of someone who is sick? lol ... (taken this morning obviously)
