Showing off her runny nose and teething pain.
Mom! No more pictures!
I have to admit, before I was a mom, back when I was a worker bee, I used to think very mean, selfish thoughts about moms that took "sick days" when their kids were sick. I used to think "that's so unfair, they get to skip work and they are fine. I wish I got to stay home "sick" when I was perfectly healthy." Oh how wrong I was.
Staying home with a sick kid is the WORST. Not only are they sick and sad and pitiful and that breaks your heart, but my oh my are they needy! Anyway, yesterday Abby was sick for the first time. She had a fever and a runny nose AND I'm pretty sure she's getting 4 top teeth, so needless to say she was a wreck. We didn't leave the house and I pretty much held her the whole day and I think I got her to crack a smile maybe once. So there. I've done penance for all those mean thoughts and I am officially apologizing for EVER thinking that any of those moms staying home with a sick kid were just trying to get out of work.
