\tI kept Kaitlyn home from school again today. It was a big decision… I don’t think I’ve ever had her home from school two days in a row. She woke up feeling fine and, truth be told, I was feeling crappy and didn’t want to go out in the drizzle to drop her off. So she stayed home. By 10:30, she’d been sent to her room once and put in time out once. <\/p>\n
\tI tried taking half the dose of that hot lemon-lime crap so I wouldn’t be so tired. That was the pharmacist’s recommendation. I still fell sound asleep. I slept through, I think, two episodes of Barney. <\/p>\n
\tFinally this afternoon with Kaitlyn (who displays zero symptoms of illness) bouncing off the walls, I was desperate for some sort of non-drowsy relief. I dug through my medicine stash and found a box of Sudafed. It has helped a little bit… and at least I am awake.<\/p>\n
\tI still feel like crud. But I’m going out to a ladies’ night party tonight. Partly because I really want a chance to say goodbye to the two women who are moving for whom the party is being held. And partly because I’ve got to get a break from this single parenthood. I’ll try not to spread my germs to the other party-goers. That won’t be easy… we’re playing bunco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
