I have 4 kids ranging from 7 to 18. Obviously the 18 yo can fend for himself as can my 17 yo, but the youngest two, 7 and 8, cannot. They have a habit of picking up every bug known to man and always seem to get the worse of everything. I am an IC as well, but have to work and also have a boss who when I cannot work, will give the work away and then I have to fight to get it back, which means normally waiting until the person that took over has to take time off.
But, is what I have done, is keep the kids on the couch, set them up all comfy and they are within hearing distance. I have given them walkie-talkies and they call if they need something, going to vomit, etc. I check on them frequently as well. I make sure to take a lunch break and spend that time cuddling with them. If they aren't too bad like the last bout of chicken pox (even with the shot!), I have a table set up in my office that they can come in and color, etc and be with me.
Keep your head up, you are Super Mom as we all are and things will work out in the end. |
