My daughter is home sick today and I know the reason. It's not a virus, strep throat, ear infection or whatever her doctor may find when I take her in later. It's a backlash at my attempt to get organized. It has happened ever since my children were born. I spent a good amount of time and effort Sunday on my Yahoo! calendar planning out this week. I found slots for projects, errands, and yes - EXERCISE! Now I'm home today and everything is out of whack for the rest of the week. I'm glad I can be here for my daughter. I feel guilty that I caused her illness due to my selfish goal of trying to get something done at work, home, and for myself. What in the world was I thinking? From now on, I will attempt nothing for the sake of my family's health.
UPDATE: She tested negative for strep. Ears were clear. She went back to school the next day to tackle EOG's.

Ain't it the truth ... no such thing as smooth sailing.
I do hope she feels better fast.
Sounds so typical. I took off a day last week and caused so much bad to happen that I may never take a day off again. I hopped over here from Beth's blog.
what a selfless sacrifice to make for your family. ;)
My daughter was negative for strep and ear infections. She had a slight fever this morning. I know it's bad but I gave her Advil and sent her to school. If she misses anymore of her EOG's, she will have to make them up next week during the days fun activities are planned. It has been such a rough year for her, she deserves some fun.
kids....I can't stand 'em.
and don't mess with the EOG's!!!!
Motherhood equals contortion to others needs.
I hear you Joan. I've been swimming or should I say drowning all week. My son needs a white t-short for school tomorrow and that request nearly put me over the edge. Thankfully, my husband worked until 8:00 p.m.tonight and is picking it up after work. How insane is it that I'm actually "happy "he worked a 15 hour day -- yes, he was at work at 5:00 a.m.!
