[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is going to roast me for this absolutely.

DS is on day 4 of a raging stomach virus. He's had a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and a stuffy nose.  It started Tuesday night. I came down with some version of it yesterday and have been feeling off, but just having diarrhea. I've been caring for DS and have been doing all the laundry, sanitizing, and cleaning. I am beyond exhausted and not feeling well. DS has had diarrhea 12+ times today and pooped his pants 7 times.

To top if off, DH was laid off today. He's in a blue-collar industry. We had some unexpected expenses this month and have had to reschedule a planned vacation. I'm very upset about all of it. DH's Dad passed away 1 year ago and there is an overnight, memorial camping trip happening with his family. I asked DH if it was wise to go on the trip, given that he had been exposed to a stomach flu all week, and he said he had to go. I am just so tired. I wish he weren't going; I don't have anyone else to help. I know DCUM will tell me that DH spending time with his family to remember his late father is important, and I agree. I'm just so bummed about a cancelled vacation, lay off, and parenting solo for the next 24-48 hours while being sick myself.

I know, I know I should suck it up. It's just been a very rough week, and nothing compared to losing a parent.[/quote]
