What a great husband!!!

Yes, I'm talking about me. I read Angel's blog and couldn't resist - I had to post a comment about the wonderful husband she has (anonymously of course). Unfortunately, it did not take long for Angel to see through my ruse but it was fun while it lasted.

So here I am, started my day off as a normal work day but it didn't turn out that way. I got up at 0530 to shower and get ready as usual. After a bowl of cereal and letting Earl out for his morning constitutional, I headed for work without saying goodbye as it sounded very quiet upstairs and I didn't want to risk waking our ill little one. Once at work, I spoke to Angel briefly as she called just as I was arriving at my first call. Everything seemed fine and we said our good mornings and promised to speak to each other later in the day.

Little did I realize later in the day meant an hour later!! When leaving the hospital, I noticed Angel tried calling me twice. I returned her call to hear a voice sounding like it was coming from a death bed - "I caught Ava's flu; can you come home??" Leaving work isn't something I like doing as it creates a shortage and my work ethic guilts me when I leave. However, a call to my supervisor and off I went home to care for Ava as Angel couldn't. So here I am, at home with 2 sick girls, caring for the one who can't care for herself.

We've been able to leave Angel sleep most of the day. Ava is getting better - her bum doesn't look as red as a baboon's anymore. She seems more accepting of solid food and the diarrhea frequency is diminishing. But I have decided it's a day of laziness - Ava's still in her PJ's at 2PM. Hopefully everyone is feeling well enough for me to have a "regular" work day. We'll see what the night and morning bring...
