Yesterday afternoon Robert texted me that he was running a fever. It was nearly the end of his school day so I told him to just gut it out...there was less than an hour left and since I was working, it was probably going to take me an hour to get there. The nurse called 45 minutes later to tell me it had spiked. We think that was a mistake because by the time he got off the bus it was back down to the first number, and shortly after dinner it was completely normal. However, he was coughing a great deal and I decided I wouldn't take any jobs today until this morning, if he didn't go to school. I told Andrew I really thought it was a good idea that he stay home no matter what, because I am already working tomorrow, and Friday I have to spend the day driving Thomas around for his job shadowing requirement. When my alarm went off this morning, Robert agreed it was a good idea to stay home. We both acknowledge he probably could've gone today, but given everything I truly think it is best that he stayed home today.
I missed out on taking a job I like, but it meant I was able to get a little bit of extra sleep, and I've been able to get a lot done around the house right now. It is early release day so Catherine and Thomas will be home early, and I need to run to the church office and take care of some band errands. I am so grateful for the flexibility of my job, and the support of my husband who completely agrees with these choices!
