With cold and flu season upon us, when you work outside the home and you have a sick child, one of the first things you have to ascertain is, “Are they really sick?” Not that you should doubt your child, but when it happens you have to arrange your whole day differently and you have […]
Sometimes? I am the working parent poster child.
My job is reasonably flexible, but, there are a few times where I must be there during certain hours, no matter what.

I’m still here, and, my middle child is still sick. We’re going to the doctor today.
You may also notice that I’m not at work right now. The work I really, really, really can’t afford to miss for the past couple of days. Yes, that work.
Oh, and, my 17 year old dog died on Wednesday. Nice […]
