I am so, SO grateful for my husband.

Josh didn’t get home from work until nearly 11 last night after having worked for twelve hours. Upon his arrival, he turned to me and told me how sorry he was that I wasn’t able to take time off from work to rest, and that he planned on assuming the role of “Parent on Duty” in the morning and letting me sleep/relax until he had to leave for work at around noon.

This morning? Boy, oh boy… my husband delivered.

Josh got up with Jude and closed the bedroom door, which allowed me to sleep in until 9! While I was sleeping, the boys watched a video or two, had breakfast, and Josh cleaned the kitchen, scooped the litter boxes, and swept the second bathroom. He also packed his lunch/dinner for the day (he won’t be home until at least 9 tonight). After breakfast, Josh got Jude ready and took him on a shopping trip to WholeFoods and left me home to drink tea/eat breakfast/read/relax. Have I mentioned how grateful I am for this man of mine?

I think I’m on my way to the upswing of this illness. All the congestion in my head is breaking up and moving out. Jude also seems to be a bit better, and again, for that I’m really grateful.

Right now it’s nap time for the boy, and I’m going to adhere to my husband’s orders to “rest when the boy rests.” After heating up my therapeutic rice sock, I’m going to lie down and cuddle up with my son. I’m working on getting Jude’s Flickr set updated, so keep an eye out for some new pics in the next day or two!
