No sick days

I knew when I accepted my position as a stay at home mom that the pay would be lousey and I wouldn't get a vacation, but I forgot about not having sick days. I had a terrible sinus headache today and had I been working? I would have totally gone home early and left the boy with my parents while I came home and napped. Well, it wasn't a migraine - I would have called my mom and asked her to come over if I was having vision problems or felt dizzy - so I just toughed it out. I guess that's what being a mom is all about. That and rocking my baby when he's having a hard time falling asleep (like right now). :)
