We are coming out of it

Spirit is feeling better but still has a slight fever and lots of coughing. He is home from school again today. I am actually doing work from home today (which I could get used to!) So far Lady Bug isn't showing any signs of getting this nasty virus. *fingers crossed*

I am very lucky that I have a boss who is sympathetic and understanding of family issues. I have had some not-so-understanding bosses in the past and it is so nice to be able to call my boss and not worry I could lose my job over it. When I called my boss this morning I told him my son was still sick and I would need to stay home with him again, I offered to come in this evening but he said "I am so sorry he is still sick. Let me take a look at our projects and see what I might need you to do, if anything. I would hate for you to be away from your family tonight." Pretty soon he called me back and said "If I email you some things could you work on them and just email me back by the end of the day?" I am so lucky to have such a good boss. I try to be a good employee to him as well and never take advantage of him.

Just a funny story:

After seeing Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs the boys were telling Mr. Man about the movie and then Lefty says "At the end of the movie they kiss. It was gross."

Spirit: "Yes it was SO gross. I'm not ever getting married."

Me: "You know that mom and dad are married. We enjoy it. What's wrong with being married?"

Lefty and Spirit (almost in unison): "Because you have to kiss. Ick."

It just made me laugh how grossed out they were over kissing.

Glad things are looking up!
Working from home is the bomb! I love it!
And having a great boss is essential to moms. My boss is the same way. She's almost like another grandma to my kids and she cares about all of us just as if we were family. I have never hesitated to call her if the kids are sick - even when I was working in the office 5 days a week.

It's great you have an understanding boss, too.

I haven't been reading blogs this week, so didn't know how sick you all were! I am SO glad to hear everyone is healing.

And that is just wonderful you have such an understanding boss...that is so rare!
