Where is a mom's sick day???

It seems like I have been sick for about 5 weeks now. Just when I started feeling better from a horrible 3 week flu bug I got sick again, and this time it was a sinus infection. I really think I had the sinus stuff weeks ago as well, but I fought through it. Thankfully I am on antibiotics now. I am not a fan of taking drugs but I was getting desperate! I had been sick long enough, was not getting better, in fact I was getting worse. Moving in less than 2 weeks, have a week to the new place and a lot of work to do prior to moving everything over. I knew that I could not get away with ignoring this any longer or I would be much worse off. So I took myself to the clinic on the weekend, sat for hours waiting to be seen by a doctor to be told that I needed an antibiotic. I happily took the little piece of paper that was going to make me better, and proceeded to laugh at the doctors orders... "take this for the full 10 days and get lots of rest"... I told him I had 2 small kids at home and was moving in 2 weeks, he looked at me with these sad eyes like he knew I was in trouble!! So it comes to me, where is a "mom's" sick day? We work the hardest job (don't let any man tell you that his job is harder) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We have no 2 weeks of vacation, statutory holidays off, or sick days. We have to scrape our sorry butts out of bed each and every day whether we feel like it or not. We try to go to bed early to get a good nights sleep but that always seems to be the night that our kids won't allow it. We push through wanting to be taken out back and shot because we have to, we are MOM's and sometimes I think this world would not function without us!! Okay maybe that is a little much but forgive me I have been sick for over a month now :)
