Sick Days

With the flu and cold season upon us it got me thinking about what other working moms do when their child is sick. Our morning routine involves me and my husband getting ready, packing our lunches, preparing our breakfast and coffee, and then waking up buddy right before heading out the door. There have been a couple of times in those few minutes before we need to be on our way to work, when we realize that someone is running a fever. While we are both lucky to have bosses who are pretty flexible with last minute notification, we still have to decide who stays home. I am pretty lucky that there were times when my husband stepped up to stay home with buddy. I either had an important meeting or tons on my desk that needed to be done. We have also had to split the duty as the fever turned into a few days away from day care. So what do you do when your little one is under the weather ?
