Like quite a few people that I know, I am fighting a summer cold, thought by many to be the worst cold of them all.
I had plans with my mom-in-law to meet my husband for lunch and then she and I would do a little shopping.
I had texted her a heads up last night that I wasn’t feeling right, and we agreed I would let her know how I was doing this morning.
I woke up around 6 a.m. and knew I wasn’t well. I texted her to let her know, and as I did I flashed back to calling in sick when I worked.
“I’m not feeling well and won’t be in today.”
The difference now is that I was really disappointed to have to cancel our plans and, of course. I don’t think of my mom-in-law as my boss. Come on now. I’m 50 for goodness sake! A grown woman!
Ok, maybe she’s kind of my boss.
Better her than her son.
