Mommy Guilt

I has it.

     My sweet baby boy has gotten my illness, or at least a combination of my stomach flu and a cold/regular flu.  It's not that he is sick that has induced the guilt, it's the fact that I sent him to the sitter's this morning so that I could go to work and be with other people's kids that has me guilt stricken.  I just couldn't take any more days off.  So I feel guilty. It is the plague of the working mother. I guess I will always feel guilty for something.  I just wish I could have stayed home and snuggled my boy while he felt like complete crap.  We spent much of the night together, Ben and I, with me clocking in abooouuuutt 2 hours sleep total, making it an extra hard decision to come to work. I was not fully in the game, but I was here, and I have a GREAT lesson plan for tomorrow just in case things get worse at home tonight.

    My being sick and now Ben being sick has really derailed my plans for sex every other day, but I have to focus on my health and Ben's right now, and as disheartening it is to know that I probably won't get pregnant this month again, I really do have to put Ben first. 
     As per Fertility Friend,  I *could* have ovulated on CD 15 which would be a first for me, so we will see what happens in the next 2 weeks I guess.  Today is CD 23, so normally I would have 17 days left in my cycle, lets hope I know something before that.
Fingers crossed for a more sleep filled night!
