The Marathon week.

I had the most challenging week of the year…already.  My schedule is already full with taking kids to school and going to work myself.  It just makes it worse when someone in your family, whether it be your spouse or child, is sick.  This is what happened to me this week. Both my sons Devin and Tyler had this terrible flu that has been going around and I mean terrible.  From 103 degree fevers to only being able to sleep four hours a night for the week has taken its toll on my spirit and mind.  These are times when as a working mother, you wish that you could stay a home. My husband had to take off two hours of work everyday (since I leave work at 3:00 p.m. and he goes to work at 12:30) to keep the kids until I was off of work.  Then it was the fevers and coughing at night that was the worse.  I hate going to work when my children are sick.  It feels like I can not be with them because I have to do “my second job first shift”.  I am glad that they are ok but unfortunately, my husband has also the same thing and is now recovering during the weekend.  May God bless an help anyone dealing with sickness in their families at this time.  It is really hard to get back to my hectic routine but I will be able to manage for this week.
