It is so freakin AWFUL!!!

My daughter has been sick constantly in the last two months-I switched her to a daycare from her sitter. It's so much better for her socially and she seems a lot happier, but this is the downside BIGtime.
Mental gymnastics=should I call in, CAN I call in, how sick is she, is that her coughing up there, go to the doctor, not go to the doctor, what meds does she need, ##$% I'm out of Motrin, am I in trouble at work, is she crying all day at daycare, is the report going to be bad, will she ever stop whining, what were my reasons for doing this again????

I am so depleted right now-I called my sister the other night, I was as HYSTERICAL as I've ever been in my life. I was screaming and crying that I did NOT want to be a mother anymore-I think I really freaked my sister out.
Today she was diagnosed with an ear infection(her first one), so at least she is on an antibiotic.

Yeah it sucks when they are sick. My 3 year old is never really sick but my young one who will be a year old in an few weeks is sick constantly. She has been sick more than the 3 year old ever has been. The worst was bronchitis when she was 3 months old. Right now she had a fever the other day 102.6. But only for a day. Now a big cold sore on her mouth, where did she get that from? I never have had one before.
It just sucks when kids are sick, they can't ever tell us what is wrong or there is nothing we can do. And when they are miserable so are we.

My kid was puking for like 5 hrs off and on this morning, starting at 3am. So we're home. ANd even though he's stopped puking, I know I CAN'T send him to school or he's gonna spread this virus to the other kids, even though I need to go to work.... :a
