At the beginning of the year, my one and only resolution was to post here every day, and I would have made it if it weren’t for those pesky kids.\u00a0 And their germs.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure what it is, exactly — it started as a simple enough cold, then morphed into the flu, then turned into something mostly outside my experience.\u00a0 This isn’t the sickest I’ve ever been, but it’s very, very close, and it was more than enough to make me do what trips out of town couldn’t do, what visits from various houseguests couldn’t do, and hell, what even giving birth and survivng those long, exhausting months with a new baby and three older kids clamoring for attention couldn’t do … miss a day (two, even) of posting.<\/p>\n
You have to know that I was in pretty bad shape if I couldn’t even make it to the computer to throw up a picture of my dog or a one-liner delivered by one or another child (any throwing up done around here was of an entirely different sort — bada bing).<\/p>\n
Poor Olof has borne the brunt of my being sick.\u00a0 He’s not been feeling tip-top himself, but as the less sick of the two of us, all of the housekeeping and childcare has been on him.\u00a0 He’s cooked all the meals, changed all the diapers, done all the bedtime\/getting up routines, walked the littler kids to school, taken care of the dogs, and surely managed plenty of other tasks I’m forgetting to mention.\u00a0 Oh, yeah, and worked his day job as well.<\/p>\n
On Sunday night he got only three hours of sleep, and barely more than twice that last night.\u00a0 And all without a word of complaint.\u00a0 Not even an audible sigh or a pointed glance when I handed the baby off to him for what must have been the dozenth time and said I had to go lie down again.\u00a0 If ever there were a Mr. Right, I found him, and don’t think I ever doubt it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
