Thank goodness for husbands!

It started last Friday . . . the fever, the congestion, the coughing, the sneezing, and more fever, and all over aching. I'm feeling extremely icky.

Rob pitched in and helped us get through the weekend; he took the kids for doughnuts and errands on Saturday (thereby letting me sleep), and then I slept again during their naptimes, and then when they got up, Rob took care of them some more so that I could catch a few more zzz's.

On Sunday, he handled all the activities of church and small group, thereby letting me stay home and sleep.

He took off the morning this morning (kids out of school for MLK day) so that I could go teach my classes, which required him to handle breakfast and lunch duty--and even the dishes! We traded off after lunch, and off to work he went.

The best part? Not one complaint about any of it!

I'm still under the weather, and will go to the doctor tomorrow to (hopefully) get some stronger medicine. I thought this might be the flu, but I've decided that it's some kind of respiratory infection. I DO NOT have time for the flu; therefore, I am banishing even the suggestion of it.

All that to say: thanks, Rob, for taking care of all of us. You are a much better nursemaid than I am, for which I am grateful.

Thank goodness for husbands!

SO sorry you're sick--but glad Rob helped you. I seriously considered coming to see you this weekend, so I guess it's good we didn't come. I hope you're feeling much better soon. We are going to find a time very soon...

Love you!
