Sierra has been sick all weekend. I had hoped her cold would pass by today. But no such luck. She has a low grade fever and coughing a lot. I could send her to the sitters. But that would be irresponsible of me. She's likely still contagious. And there are other children there. So, I have to keep her at home and by extension, I have to miss work. I have the vacation time to use. But I hate using it for sick days. My boss is good about understanding (Shes a mother too) but it seems like I miss a lot of work just because Sierra gets sick.

Healing vibes headed to her. We are the ones more often who take the sick day to care for them. We're just wired that way.
