The Balance is Tipping

By Anonymous

JP has been sick for the past few days and on Monday he spiked up to a 102 fever and sat shaking and shivering on the couch all night while I made him tea and took care of everything else. Yesterday he was still sick, hovering around a 101 fever with terrible heartburn and sat curled up on the couch moaning occasionally. Then, after dinner, Landon was super cuddly and kept climbing onto my lap and putting his cheek on my shoulder. I took his temperature and it was 101.5. He went to bed with some tylenol and a few extra cuddles. This morning both patients woke up with a 101 fever and are at home watching Sesame Street. I'm at work, determined not to get sick, and am trusting in the universe not to strike all three of us down.

There's really nothing like a sick kid (and/or sick spouse) and a ton of work and impending deadlines to show you how precarious your balance really is.
