C'mon!

It never fails, when one of the kids stays home sick, inevitably it’s on a day I’m either running low or out of Diet Pepsi. It might be okay for you coffee drinkers, but not for me. I hate coffee with a passion. So what could possible be causing this phenomenon? It’s not even the same type of sickness. It could be colds, headaches or even the stomach bug. Doesn’t the universe understand that I’m ill equipped to handle that special kind of stress that comes with taking care of a sick child without the blessing of caffeine??? Is it some sort of cosmic lesson? It’s totally not fair and I’m totally going to whine and be totally miserable until I get some. Totally.
