I ended up leaving work early yesterday because I felt like shit. By the time I got Henry and I home, I had a fever which meant I had all those fun symptoms to deal with while trying to get Henry to nap and so needing a nap myself. Nobody napped. My fever finally broke sometime in the evening and I stopped shivering and I actually felt like playing with Henry as opposed to pretending. I finally got some rest last night and this morning I still feel like shit but I really need to save any sick days I might accumulate for when the kid gets sick. It's like Henry knew I wasn't feeling on top of the world because this morning was perfect. I don't think he said, "NO" or ran away from me once. We had to leave a little bit early so we could stop and fuel up on the way to work and school. We made it out by 6:50 AM, no problem. Crazy! The good thing about being sick at work is that everybody leaves me alone. Nobody wants to have anything to do with me. Kind of nice! The bad thing is that my lungs feel like they used to feel after a night out at the bar when I would smoke a pack of cigarettes. I haven't smoked since I found out I was pregnant with Henry, and maybe it was even before that. I specifically remember the last cigarette I had had when I found out I was pregnant the first time, but I can't remember if I started again when that pregnancy failed. I think I didn't because I don't remember having had a last cigarette when I had a positive test for my second pregnancy. Either way, it's been a long time and my lungs feeling like this, it's a good reminder to never start smoking again.
Not related to sickness, last night a bunch of people came over for a meeting. Henry was the perfect host and greeted everyone by saying, "Hi! Welcome to our home!" and then he would run and hide behind my legs and whisper, "Mom mom, I want to give them a hug. Can I give them a hug?" and I would tell him to ask them if he could give them a hug and of course everyone agreed
Have I mentioned that my son is awesome?
