To whom it may concern,
I realize that my place of work has a “no sick day” policy except in dire cases, ie. hospitalization or, in rare cases, bowing to the porcelain gods. I grudgingly accept this policy, despite the lingering sinus headache that began yesterday and aunt flo’s regular visit. In lue of a sick day, however, I would like to request a personal day. If this is not possible, I request to be placed on light duty.
A personal day away from my place of work would be ideal. I’d prefer a massage, facial, lunch out with a girlfriend, a steamy hot bath, and a cozy uninterrupted place to read and play my new Style Savvy game for the DS. I would also like to request a milkshake. When I return home, I would like to be smothered with hugs and kisses. Tomorrow I promise to return to full duty without complaint.
I realize that all requests can not always be accommodated, so if a personal day is not possible, light duty would be acceptable. “Light duty” is defined as participating in all hugs, giggles, play times, nap times, and tv breaks. It involves eating leftover cupcakes, but not cleaning up the mess. On light duty, I will be excused from of all cooking, cleaning, breaking up of fights, and listening to whining. I may be required to change wet diapers, but poopy diapers will wait for dad to come home. I will have time to read or play my ds while children play independently during one period of the day.
I expressly request that light duty excludes both this:

I am eligible for light duty due to the following:
1. Enduring an excruciating sinus headache/migraine beginning at 11:00 am yesterday and still lightly lingering this morning.
2. Waking up multiple times to help crying baby beginning at 12:30 pm last night, including diaper changes, drinks of water, soothing, and pacifier-fetching.
3. Enduring a 6:30 am wake up that I attempted to stretch until 7 am and failed.
4. A hormonal case of the grumpies that makes patience an extra challenge today.
I realize that there are no other workers to fulfill my regular duties or perform heavy duty today. With this in mind, I request extra obedient and cheerful children today. If this is not possible, magic fairies will do.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Oh, no! Sinus headaches are the worst! I hope that you feel better soon!
I had to have a semi light duty day myself last week!
Feel better soon!
Also popped by to tell you I moved to http://www.babesrockinmami.com so if you want to continue giving me love (I know you do!) then go over there are refollow me. Feel free to unfollow my blogger blog.
Feel better soon! *hugs*
I kind of know how you feel, but I only have one child so far (next one due any day) I hope you get your wish.
P.s. I love how you captured your kid’s “looks”
I am supposed to be writing progress reports, but my hormone migraine (still from yesterday too), major cramps and all other that time of the month ailments have converged on me today. I am taking a sick day. I will be hiding in my classroom Sunday probably to complete my work. Sometimes I hate being a girl. Putting up with my bitchiness is in no way equivalent to actually having a period. Just leave us alone. (I wish not to offend, oh, youngest sister, but minus the headache, when you feel like this, a drink is just the thing. Just saying. Remember the honeymoon basket.)
Ah, I’m with you! If only…
Feel better!
Those are “the” best faces ever! LOL… I read your post and laughed (not at you but definitely with you) I wish I could get some sick days :o)

I’m still laughing over picture number 2! 😀
Feel better soon.
