Today I had to come home from work because my wife had a horrible fever and couldn't take care of the kids. She had the same thing that's going around with the people at work. I was a little afraid about taking off from work and could tell my boss was concerned about it.

When I came home I was very concerned to find teh children were all still in bed and none had been changed or had eaten.

I could tell that I've changed in my attitude towards this type of thing because I was able to handle the kids, get some work done from home, clean the house and offer Christie some attention and care.

I am grateful that I am able to work from home and I hope my willingness and effort to do this made an impression on my boss.

At the end of the night I wore down some and got a little cranky but for the most i did ok.
