Am I Getting Snowed?

Is this just how it is or what? I started the part time job I have been dreaming of and my kid gets sick!!! The job is a super casual home office with extreme flexibility - how fortunate. So I made my husband take the day off Tues, my first day of work to stay home with the sickie because this is not the first impression I want to give. Yesterday was no work for me anyway so keeping him home was no problem. Now I am all set to go to my job and the sickie is still claiming to feel horrible. No fever anymore but insisting he is feeling bad. This is called a lose/lose situation!!!! I hate these times and it reminds me of why I am so glad I do not have a full time job. As I write he is making his best "I feel horrible face" in the mirror and repeatedly saying "ow, ow." Gee, you don't think he is playing it up for me, do you? Of course, I am letting him stay home but I guarantee by 10:00 I will be pulling the hair from my head because he will be bouncing off the walls with boredom. I take that back, try by 8:00!
