Last night was horrible! At 11:45 Piper tossed her cookies all over her bed and herself! She was so scared and upset. She just screamed. It was in her hair - all over her face. She just has never had anything happen to her like this so she didn't know what to do. And for that fact neither did MOM! But we got her settled down, bathed, and back in clean jammies only in time for her to toss them again! But this time was pretty much nothing but snot. She had alot of drainage going on. Finally got her changed again and she was so tired. I got her back to sleep, put down and didn't hear another thing from her. Well, now what to do.... take her to the sitters or not??? Well, mom and dad are getting low on vacation time especially with the time we have to take off over Christmas because the sitter is closed. And mom had some people coming in the office today that she had to go in. So we got her up to see how she was. Seemed fine - just tired which I suspected she would be. Loaded her up in the car - got almost to the sitters and my cell phone rings. It's the baby sitter letting me know she was going to be able to do daycare today because she has been tossing her cookies since 4 this morning - and she thought she could do. She is alot braver than I would be! But as the morning went on - she is feeling worse and can't watch kids today. So, Steve and I meet in our work parking lot and load Piper and her movie in Steve's car and he heads home. (He has alittle more time off left then I do!)

Piper has diarrhea. When I called Steve he said she has had alot of poopy diapers. So, I took my lunch hour and ran home to get him some Pedialyte and wipes of all things (we were about out!) When I got home she was sleeping. So I didn't disturb her. I think that is the best thing for her at this point!

Wow! This is the time when I really hate being a working mother.... I know every mother feels like this at one point or another. But to come to work when you know your baby is sick - is really hard.
