Snow, Sickness, & Broken Heaters

Oh, My!

This is a break down of my week.

*Monday was a snow day. Yay! I get paid for at least one snow day. Double Yay!!

*Tuesday, I went to work for 3 hours. I came home with a horrible tummy ache, then spent 4 hours, all by myself, violently ill. Thank goodness for sick pay.

*Wednesday. Due to the 24 hour rule, that I strongly support, I knew I wouldn't be going in. Once again, so happy I had sick pay. I had a horrible headache, but I was home on the mend. Five minutes before I would usually be walking out the door, the phone rings with a message that at the school I work at, the heaters weren't working, so school was canceled. I'm thinking that cancels out my sick pay. BOO!

*Thursday. Cabin fever has set in. I'd gotten more rest than anyone really needs, and I was ready to face the day. I finally slept my headache away, and I was good to go. Riley looks awful and is complaining of a tummy ache. Really?? He really did look awful, so I made the calls, felt terrible for being gone again, but it's sick pay. Guess what? Riley never got sick. I was so scared for him to feel the extreme pain that I felt for 8 terrible hours, and he got nothing. I was thankful for this, but I so desperately needed to get out of this house!!! I did get the chance to wash every sheet and towel in this house, and disinfect a very good majority of it. You know I'm rested up, when I take the opportunity to clean. I, of course, had the fear of one of my family members going through what I did, and that was motivation enough.

*Friday. It's not Friday yet, but I'm going to work!! Nothing will stop me!! (Knock on wood) Jake has the day off, so I'm running out that door at my earliest chance!!
