 Like many workings moms across the world I am tired and in need of a day without an office or a child.  The  university is closed from Wednesday-Friday this week so I decided to take off Monday and Tuesday to rest and clean my home.  My youngest’s daycare center was open all day Monday and half day Tuesday so that would give me a much needed break.

Whenever I plan to spend a day at home alone, the youngest ALWAYS manages to contract a virus, a fever or both, and this Sunday morning was no exception.  Just before daybreak he threw up in my bed and repeated the action 5 more times throughout the morning.  Instead of cleaning I spent Monday chasing a child who was mysteriously better, but stuck at home with me thanks to the 24 hours rule.

Maybe, if I am lucky, I will manage to clean at least one room over the Christmas holiday.
