As if life wasn't topsy-turvy enough for me recently, it looks like I might miss some time at work, because I need to be home with my sick son and my sick self.
The same sequence of events has occurred in our house as it usually does when Jack gets sick. My husband had a slight tickle in his throat and minor congestion for a day after spending time wiping Jack's nose, but I seem to be getting a full-blown cold that is likely to stay with me for a week or longer.
Jack had a runny nose and was congested and lethargic on Sunday. He had a fever Sunday and half of yesterday and laid around on the couch feeling ill. Today, the fever is gone, but he's congested, hoarse, coughing and still sluggish.
This morning I woke up slightly congested. The sinus pressure has been building in my forehead all day and now I'm looking forward to going to bed an hour earlier than usual.
The downside of being sick is the painful, tired part and getting behind at work a week into my new job. The upside is that I might have some time at home to read, write and watch movies. Of course, that's assuming that my sick kid will share the TV with his sick mom.
