Just a little background info, on Saturday I was in the ER with my son who was extremely ill since he had been vomiting/diarrhea since Wednesday.
Well, while there the ER doc warned that its likely it will cycle through the house.
Monday, my first day of work, my daughter threw up at the sitters. But it was only once or so.
Yesterday, my baby was a little better, but had a little bit of diarrhea. So I thought she was getting better, no vomiting since Monday.
Today, after an obviously awkward day yesterday... an hour after I came in, I had to leave to pick up my daughter.
I'm confident my new job is already tired of this. And I'm contemplating just not going in anymore because 1) my daughter will most likely not be better by the end of the week and 2) she is not taking to daycare very well. I'm sure part of that is an adjustment but I'm sure either I'll be next or my older daughters will and I don't know. It just feels like if the universe is saying anything, its that my working at this job is not meant for me cause its so odd how all of this is happening at once. I called my job and told them what was going on & that I'll call them tomorrow to let them know how my baby is feeling to determine if I'll be in Friday. I already know I won't be in on Thursday simply cause the babysitter cannot have her back until she has been clear of vomiting and diarrhea for 24 hours.
So again, clearly I'm not ready to work outside the house. Kids are sick too often and I'm just not ready for this, but on the other hand I'm sure there is no good way to end this before April 15th w/o leaving a sour note with the employer.
Another awkward day

(We spent most of 2006 sick. There is no way I would get paid so much and be able to take on so much at work if my husband wasn't home for all the sick days. Some years have just been horrid - others are fine - it just depends. But your post gave me memories of 2006).
