Home

Today I am home with Addison because she has strep throat again.  This is the third time she has had it this school year.  I have never missed this much work (Unless you count being on maternity leave~ which I'm not!).  I stayed home with her on Tuesday, also, and Drew stayed home with her yesterday.  On Tuesday we just laid around and watched WAY TOO MUCH tv.  Way. Too. Much.  I didn't want to do that today, so I have been cooking (yes, ME, cooking), cleaning, washing, baking and maybe watching just a little tv.  She has helped some in the kitchen and has watched her fair share of Nickjr. 

It's funny, when I'm at work I want to be at home and when I am at home all I can think about is being at work.  Weird, I know.  I am not one of those people who can just take off work for no reason except just to have a day off.  I was taught that you only take off from work if your HAVE to, not if you just WANT to.  This year I have missed for jury duty and to stay home with Addison who has been sick at least three times since August.  I am hopeful that her body is just trying to built up some immunity this first year in school and she will be healthy from here on out.  A mama can hope, right!

I am thankful for my job and having people at work who will help me out when I need to be gone. It is nice to know that someone has your back when you have to be gone.  I may think about work when I'm at home, but I don't worry about work.  There is a difference.

This is a pretty boring post, but I am determined to blog more this year and this just happens to be what is going on right now!

Five weeks until marathon Sunday!  We are still training, but I am looking forward to "retiring" from the long races.  My knee will thank me!
