Home This Morning

Last night at dinner CootieBoy got very quiet and pensive. We put him to bed shortly thereafter and not even an hour later he was up and clutching his ear. Poor little guy had an earache that just wouldn’t let him sleep. I some earache relief drops in there and he had a conniption – he hates anything to do with medicine even if it’s not something he has to take orally. Once he calmed down he fell asleep for another hour and woke up once more. I put him into our bed, and for the rest of the night he was up, down, up, down, crying, quiet, crying, quiet, my side of the bed, Denis’s side of the bed, and so on. It made for a long night (although Denis got up at some point and went to sleep in another room because he just couldn’t sleep). So CootieBoy and I stayed up all night together.

This morning he had a 100.3 fever so I kept him home. But since I can’t take the whole day, I called Denis and told him I needed him to come home at 1:30 p.m. so I can go into work. I then left voicemails for my bosses to let them know I’d be in by 2 p.m.
