The Hunt
We pretty much have it arranged so that I have no real use for child care. Joe works nights. I work days. We meet in the middle. It's viable. Last weekend, he had Reserve drill. Instead of staying home with the boys, I used the opportunity to take them to a private school/daycare I wanted to try. They loved it. Josh, who clings to me like Mommy equals Holy Grail, loved it. I should have known my efforts at a little breathing room would not go unpunished. OF COURSE, Josh nose leaks and drips now. Of course, he sneezed all that night. Naturally, he ran a low grade fever. The joy luck of keeping the kids sequestered from traditional, standard child care which trusts that parents of children who truly run sick will keep their Ebola monkeys home. No such luck. Still, Josh is the happiest boy who ever sneezed.
