You be the judge...
The front office staff buzzes into my classroom today with the announcement that I need to call daycare. My 2nd graders are in the middle of taking a unit language assessment. I give directions for the next section and go stand in the corner and call daycare. The message I receive is that Reed just vomited. OK, next on my call list is Eric. Give directions for the next section of the assessment. Call Eric tell him and he says he will be there to get him within the hour. Since I took off yesterday for Tyler being sick. Give directions to the next section of the assessment. Call daycare back and tell them Eric will be there to get him. Finish giving assessment to my students.
I end up staying at work until 5:15 getting lesson plans done and my classroom set up for teaching tomorrow just in case I am not able to be there.
When I get home Reed is sound asleep on Eric, no more vomiting, no fever, just sleeping. Hmmm...
Cook dinner he decides he doesn't want dinner, OK.
After dinner Tyler plays the Wii and Reed goes into the bedroom to watch Tom and Jerry. I go in with camera in hand...this is how I find him.
Then the poses for the camera start. Here they are...
Before bed the boys always have a snack. Reed wants Cheetos...OK...lets give it a try, oh and he wanted apple juice. He sits on the couch drinks the apple juice and the open bag of snack size Cheetos sits on the couch.
Get the boys in bed and look over at the couch...Cheetos bag still sitting there. I close up the bag and put them in the pantry.
Go in to check on him to see if he is warm and take his temp. Normal temp.
Right now it is about an hour later and he is sound asleep. I am thinking if he sleeps through the night that I am going to work.
What do you think I should do? You know I always have the guilty mom syndrome going on. Work or stay home. I am a teacher and it really is a pain in the rump to get ready for a sub, but then again I am prepared just in case. Just always second guess my choices.
