Should I go to work today?

Pros: I have a lot to do at work since it's year end. Also, there will be a ton of people there today and as the HR rep it is a good day to make myself available. Not to mention that because of daycare I'll only be in for a half day tomorrow and off on the 1st. Plus there will be free food at work today.

Cons: LO was a sick mess this weekend and it's pushing it to call him healthy enough for daycare. And I worked an extra day last week so it would be a comp day since I'm salary. I can also do a few things from home on my home computer.

You're right. I'll stay home. This is the thing I hate most about being a working mom. I feel guilty for not being home when I'm at work and I feel guilty about not being at work when I'm home.

In this case staying home is definitely the right choice! I know it's hard, but try to enjoy the day without feeling guilty!

Story of my life. But giving your LO an extra day to rest may save you from having to take days off later in the week if/when he is worse

I voted stay home but didn't read your post. I'd just always vote, "stay home take it easy"
