sick day

Megan was up all night coughing up her left lung. Not even her inhaler helped much. I woke up this morning, showered, blow dried my hair, and even put on jewelery (something I'm trying to do more often). However It was for nothing because here we sit at home in our pajamas, staying "calm" so that she doesn't start another coughing fit. The three of us (Megan, Mattie and I) made ourselves each a spot downstairs and watched JUMANJI in our cozy family room. Mattie loved it, and watched the entire thing with fascination. I hoped that it didn't scare him but he doesn't seem phased at all.
wouldn't you know that just two days ago I took a "mental health" day off of work to get some much needed relaxation time! If I would have known I'd be calling in sick today for Megan, I would have saved my time!! ugh.. I'm a mom.. I should know better than to take a sick day for myself! oh well..

Isn't that always the way it is? Ah well, I'm sure one more day of rest did you just as much good as it did them! You have a beautiful family.

Thats just how it works with sick days, it's happened to all of us
! I am so sorry Megan was so sick, thats the worst in the middle of the summer. I hope the rest of you don't catch it!
