Sick Cub

[qos]

I got a call a little after noon today that my daughter, who the Ex's SO had already picked up from school because she was sick, was throwing up and really wanted her mommy. So I told my boss I had to go home, put the Out of Office message on my email, and headed out.

I found my little bear, wearing her footy jammies, curled up in a blanket on the couch with a basin on the floor next to her. A few minutes later, I was in my jammies too, and she snuggled up next to me.

We talked quietly for a few minutes, then she fell asleep, and I just sat there and held her for about twenty minutes, reveling in the sweetness of having my child fall asleep on me like that. She's big enough now that that doesn't happen very often.

I've disentangled myself, and she's readjusted her position again with just a murmur of "okay, Mommy," and gone back to sleep. I think I'll take a nap myself.

I hope she gets well and you get rest.

I would be happy to make some home made chicken noodle soup tonight when I come over.
