Workplace Negotiations

Today, I am grumpy. Joss is not sleeping well. She wants to be nestled into the crook of my arm, but doesn’t want the duvet to cover her face. It’s too cold for me to have no duvet on my chest, so we are in a constant battle about where she is lying, how the duvet is, and how cold I am.

The night before last she kept waking up grizzling about “my book” and I would say,
“there’s no book! Go to sleep!” and then she’d sleep again, only to wake up and say
“Louis! Your ELBOW!” and I would say
“Louis is NOWHERE NEAR YOU. GO TO SLEEP” at an ever increasing level of frustration. Until, I rolled over and felt something dig into my side, reached down to see what it was, and my fingers clasped… a carrot. Which is pretty uncomfortable to lie on.

All of this makes for a very tired and fractious Mama with Low Tolerance Syndrome (LTS).
Please can I take the day off? Do I have any holidays owing? Can I call in sick?
