So I will have to write a note for Billy tomorrow to let his teacher know why he wasn’t in school today. I guess I can just say I was sick and not go into detail about how I really felt.  I thought that Billy would be okay with the decision not to go to school today, but he told me that his teacher would miss him and he needed to do his worksheets.  I felt horrible.  It makes me smile that he likes school so much.  He will definitely be there tomorrow. I will drag myself there.  I am feeling better so hopefully that won’t happen.  It really stinks to be a mom and get sick.  Yesterday was the worst and Bill took Billy to school which was great. Then I had to go pick him up, but I was the last mom there because I had fallen asleep on the couch and woke up at 10:30am and Baden was still in his pajamas. I had to get him dressed so poor Billy was the last one to be picked up. Today I woke up achy everywhere and not ready to face anything.  Billy really took everything in stride. Baden even helped me out by hanging out with me in the family room and only escaped once through the gate up the stairs. Then my sweet husband came home early from work because I was sick and brought lunch.  What a great guy.  Tomorrow is a new day and a healthier me will emerge, I hope. Nyquil might help with that.
