Cycle of Sickness

I spent all of yesterday lying in bed,

stuck in a nauseous haze. I felt horrible for most of the day, my stomach churning violently. Once again, I was sick because of the daycare kids. It's the same thing, over and over again. Every several months, a sick child

comes over and spreads their awfulness to us. Sometimes, their parents even know they're sick and still send the child over. I'm tired of people being selfish like that. If you know your child is sick, please don't send them out in public to school or daycare; you are potentially endangering many other children and adults. Sure, you don't want to have to deal with your child being sick, and work is important, but no one else wants to be sick, either. Also, don't complain when we inevitably become sick and have to take time off because of your sick kids.
