Sickness

It's amazing how paranoid a preschool job can make a person. I'm terrified of getting the stomach flu, especially since my sister has it and yesterday one of the kids threw up on the table. Twice. So I find myself wide awake at 4:30am not feeling sick, but afraid of going back to sleep because I could get sick. I've never had the stomach flu in my life, but more than anything I don't want to get it now. I need the money too much to be that sick. It's silly, and it may be a worthless worry but it's there. I am now afraid of picking up the children for fear they'll throw up on me. My job is going to get very interesting.
