A Rock and a Hard Place

I knew something was off when I had to wake the little man up this morning.  I wanted to get the kids dropped at daycare by about 9:30 so I would have time to make an intake appointment for the little woman before work.  After a few minutes I realized he had a headache. 
My little man gets migraines.  So I offered him a pill and he turned me down flat.  I'm stuck in this place emotionally.  I need to get to work and yet I know he doesn't  feel well.  What to do?  Finally he relented and took a pill.  But he informed me he was not going to daycare until the pill had worked.  Well I'm not sure that pills totally take away a migraine.  I think at best it dulls it. 
So I'm frustrated.  Frustrated with his not helping and not feeling well and frustrated with feeling like I'm letting my co-workers down.  I had already been late one day this week. 
Then suddenly he was ready to go and we went.  I dropped them and then zoomed to work.  Only an hour late.  And it turned out that we got everything done by 3.  Then I zoomed back and grabbed the kids.  He told me it took a long time for that first pill to work. And off they we to play.
Next thing I know he is back and asking for a pill.  Gave him one and set him up with the TV turned way way down.  And he was asleep before two minutes had passed.  He slept for a good two hours.  Which is what he has done every other time he has had a migraine. 
All I can do is kiss his head and hope that next time I am not so frustrated.  It isn't his fault.  I love that little boy and I don't like seeing  him feel bad.
