I don't get sick days

Posted Friday, June 13, 2008 10:15 AM

That's the one drawback of being a SAHM.  When you wake up and feel like sh*t, you have to suck it up and be a mom anyway.  Last night I had killer cramps and every part of me hurt.  Even with a heat pad on my back it hurt like hell.  Then, despite having crawled into bed at 11:30, I didn't actually fall asleep until after 1 because everything hurt so bad.  Ibuprofen does absolutely nothing for me.

Then this morning I feel exactly the same except now I just feel like throwing my guts up.  And I'm tired.  *sigh*  I hope Jax lets me curl up on the couch and relax.

I think that's part of the reason that they say that being a SAHM is one of the most difficult (and under paid) jobs out there.  You don't get health benfits, vacation time, sick days.... or any of the other perks.  Not to mention a pay cheque.  But your giving your child a great gift by staying home with them.  I hope we're in a positition for me to be able to do the same thing when the time comes.  I admire you and I hope you feel better soon!

You should have a sitter lined up who can maybe take Jax on occasions when you're sick.  Are there daycares who will take children for a day here and there with little to no notice?  I know it sucks.  Hope you make it through okay.

Thanks ladies!  Unfortunately the daycare system here in town sucks balls.  :(  But I am feeling much better.  Although I have a feeling I'm going to have to invest in a lot more Midol.
