I just couldn't get to sleep and then at some point in the early morning my son started a coughing fit. He had been coughing all day yesterday and even though he went to school I allowed him to miss cub scouts. He said his throat hurt also. We were expecting 2 - 6 inches of snow today and I was prepared for a school closing. As I laid in the dark bedroom this morning I was waiting and expecting the phone to ring. When there is a delay or closing the school calls about 5:30 am. Once the alarm went off I figured that was a good indication that school was in session. I got out of bed and looked out the window. No snow. Nothing. Okay, meteorologists, you failed again.
I was really hoping for a snow day so my son could get away with not having to worry about an absence. Although, I do not get paid for snow days but I do get paid sick time so this is a win for me. My daughter went off to school and my boy has been laying around the couch all morning coughing like crazy. What is going on? I thought we were finally passed all of this. I'm praying and crossing my fingers that this doesn't get passed onto my daughter but you know how it goes. When one gets it the other one does too. Ugh.
I put together beef stew in the crock pot for dinner and have been lounging around and doing nothing all day. I could use my day off as an opportunity to get things done but I lack the energy to do so. So, I've been taking this opportunity to think about the future and where I want to go from here in regards to career and finances. My job in the cafeteria definitely helps fill the gap but I would really love to involve myself in something on top of that. I've been taking the time to pray and contemplate what I could do while being able to be home when the kids are home. I have a few things in mind but I'm taking my time to see which opportunity is better than the other. Maybe I'm taking too much time.
