Mom for Hire and/or Kids for Sale

I put in my two weeks notice to my "boss" Dee yesterday. I told him that I was quitting as wife and mother and that I might not even show up for my last days . After two weeks of sick kids (strep last week and influenza this week) I have completely had it! Who would have thought that I would actually be excited to go to work, but I was ecstatic to come today :)
I felt so bad that my kiddos were not feeling well, but come on, there is a limit to how long I can be cooped up in a house with crabby kids. My boys fought so much the past few days, that I told them I had them for sale on KSL, and I was actually lowering the price to "free". Yes I know that I am a mean mom, but my nerves were shot!
Hayden is so used to being at school all day, and Rylan is so used to being home by his self and being able to play with anything he wants without getting in trouble that they had a really hard time being together all day long!
I am also a bad mom because in reality Hayden should have stayed home one more day, because it hadn't been 48 hours since his last fever, but I needed to come to work. Besides, if you give him some motrin he is as good as new. He was up and dressed for school before I even had to ask him today(normally it's a big fight to make it to the bus on time). I think he was just as ready to get out of the house today as I was. Even Rylan, who used to cry every week when he had to go to the babysitter, was waiting for me by the door with his coat and shoes on.
I guess if we have survived this last 2 weeks, we can survive anything---hopefully!

So sorry for the hard couple of weeks. Winter time is never fun. I say instead of quitting you ask Dee for a big Bonus! You deserve it don't ya?
