The not so great part of being a working parent.

Just called home over my lunch break and heard the heart wrenching sobs of my daughter over the phone. Brian said she just started wailing and wouldn't calm down. Turns out she has a 102.9 degree fever. This probably means there's an ear infection. Nothing sucks quite as badly as knowing your child is in pain and not being able to be there for them. Sure, I know Brian has it under control and Lily will be seeing the doctor in less than an hour, but I want to be there. I want to hold her and kiss her little head and reassure her that everything will be OK.

I'm afraid my afternoon is going to move very, very slowly.
