I just figures . . .

It just figures that after having to take off for a week because of swine flu (while my children were all healthy), one of the kids would get sick this week. Poor George woke up with a fever of 102.2 and he's miserable. You can just see it in his eyes. We're headed to the doctor today. I wonder how long my firm will patiently stand by while my kids get sick. I once had a boss (at another firm) who gave his secretary her yearly review and in the written report he recommended that she be given a raise so that she could buy vitamins for her son because he was always sick. What a jackass (for more than just that). At the time I thought it was pretty funny, but I don't think it is so funny now that I'm the one having to call into my boss and tell him that my kid is sick and I have to stay home. I keep thinking the firm is going to suggest that I reevaluate my children's health. Luckily, we'll have an au pair in August and she will be able to help us out with things like sick days, etc. I hope we can hold out that long.

Don't you love anonymous comments? It seems people believe it is ok to be rude if they are anonymous. If you want to be rude - you shouldn't be a coward about it. I'm not.

Nah - It doesn't bother me too much. One time someone anonymously posted and called one of my friends an idiot. That pissed me off. I politely asked the person to refrain from name calling. Other than that, it's no biggie. That's what I get for not making my blog private.
