Ugh, can I complain for a second?

[The Foozzler]

Why does my child have to keep getting sick when missing work is pretty much impossible? And while H could potentially watch him, but can't because he can't lift Tyler up at all.

Tyler started with a 103 fever Sunday. It was 101.5 this morning and 102 at bedtime. Clearly daycare is out for Tuesday and most likely Wednesday. Tomorrow is the fourth day of school. I don't even know what I could leave for my kids if I call out. It is also hard to ask someone to call out the day after a holiday weekend. If my mom or SIL calls out of work tomorrow, they won't get paid for Labor Day. Plus, the Jewish holidays are this week, so we all planned on taking off Thursday and Friday, so taking another day this week is hard. 

I just feel like it is the worst possible time to not have daycare as an option. FIL is taking off tomorrow to help out. This should be interesting, but at least H is home to direct him. We are still without child care for Wednesday, so I might need to stay home. Which also means I might be in work during a huge Jewish holiday on Friday in order to not miss 3 days this week (my district does not close for Jewish holidays at all).

I'm so sorry! You have been working so hard with your H out of commission. It just seems like something should go smoothly for you!

Incidentally, this is one of my big fears. We have no family here and a college prof can't just cancel class. Ugh. Child care is so stressful.

Ugh, this is so hard. I'm sorry. I hope Tyler miraculously gets better and you can take Friday off.

I would offer to drive up, but I have Linz in school... BOO!

I'm sorry. That really blows.
