As I sit in my bed feeling like I am going to die, I suddenly realized that today is Todd's birthday. TODD's BIRTHDAY!!! I feel horrible, not so much because of the flu anymore, but because my best friend and husband is having a birthday and all I have done for him is given him 100% control of the house....taking care of the kids, breathing treatments, baths, bedtime rituals, putting out fires, making lunches, preparing meals and snacks, getting them dressed and teeth brushed, and all the carpooling that comes with my regular responsibilities. All while I have been sleeping, moaning and groaning, sipping ginger ale, and ...well, I won't go into the other details that come with the flu.
I have this philosophy that sometimes things DO happen in order for reasons beyond our control, and it's not always just coincidence. Todd took this entire week off to use some of his vacation. He had plans too! None of which were helping take care of Kelsey get through food poisoning over the weekend, nor taking over for me AND playing DR. and servant to me while I have been sick. However, as he keeps telling me and himself, "it all worked out great since I'm on vacation".
My point IS, Happy Birthday Todd!! And I am truly sorry your day is not more memorable, or maybe it is memorable. I will definitely be making it up to you as soon as I am back on my feet. Thank you for helping me out and I love you.
