jack has been sick all week. it started saturday night when he threw up every hour on the hour and then a few days ago he caught a cold and has been hacking and coughing like a 3-pack-a-day smoker for the past few nights.
last night was the worst and, of course, jeff was out of town. he had a meeting in nyc and i encouraged him to stay overnight to meet up with some of his friends from college who live there. what was i thinking? oh sure, be the cool wife who encourages her husband to have a life outside of her and the kids. jack was up at 10:30pm, 12:30am, 4:30am and then screamed from 6:14am-7am this morning before falling back asleep and waking up at 8:15am.
i'm exhausted.
jeff called me a little bit ago from the train to tell me how great it was to see dan and andrew and to tell me about the dinner they had at mortons (i had flavor blasted goldfish crackers and some of jack's soggy, leftover animal crackers for dinner). i'm glad he had a good time. i'm glad he got to see his friends (one of whom, apparently, reads my blog regularly. hi dan!) but the second he walks in the door tonight, the kids and dog are his. i'm kissing him hello and then heading upstairs to hide out for the rest of the night.
it doesn't seem possible to me that there will ever be a day when jack will be a teenager who wants to sleep all day. i can't wait to wake him up. payback is a bitch.

Al had a similar situation. I was gone for 10 days in Seattle (business) and she is home with 2 kids and first trimester morning sickness. Zach had a cough, not so bad to keep her awake all week though. It doesn't feel good to be the husband away knowing it sucks at home.
