Shades of Motherhood
Last night IDK (Indestructo-kiddo) came down with the same stomach bug that hit the Cuteness last week. As he is a Teenager, I explained the Care and Feeding of Upset Tummies and went to work. Someone smelled gas and pulled the fire alarm, so I joined the crowd outside in the cold and called to check on him. He was Not Well, but keeping down water. I told him to eat some rice.
An hour later he called back, Very Much Not Well and could I please come home? I contacted my supervisor, who didn't respond immediately, so I called Mama A and asked her to head over. She had an errand to run, so I told my supervisor I had to leave around 2. 2 pm is better then 10:30 am.
The supervisor got back to me, said "not a problem" and "you're a wonderful mom and project leader".
I am still surprised and wondering about all this praise. My ego is eyeing the flattering words and waiting for the slap. I don't LIKE having to take time off. Yes, I'm on a very flexible project, but still. I'm taking 8 days off in three weeks.
DISNEYWORLD IN THREE WEEKS!!! UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!! SEA WORLD!! WE GOT OUR MAGIC BANDS YOU GUYS OMGS THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!!
*ferret shock*
*twitch twitch twitch*
Ahem.
As it stands, I'm going to lose most of that time because I don't have the PTO saved up. It won't hurt the project any, just my bottom line. Which reminds me. I need to pay bills and run numbers. I guess I'll do that now.
