Today I (Abe) called in sick. Sunday my nose dripped constantly the entire day and I felt awful. Today was not much better and it seemed unwise to push myself. Lily was so amazing. After dropping the girls off at school, she took Ammon and Clarissa to get their hair cut and to the park so I could have some peace around the house. I had a nice blend of getting things done at a reasonable pace and resting. When Lily came home we rested for a bit, and then I had some work calls. By the end of the day, I was feeling better, and Lily was feeling worse, so we swapped roles a bit and I handled the kids while she recovered. I love being on a team with that woman.
Yesterday was a blur for me…I really wasn’t feeling too good. The only other thing I remember was that Lydia and Mary had their hearts set on staying up until Midnight for Chinese New Year. They are so festive! They pled desperately for it, but given the fact that it was a school night, and that Lily and I were both feeling awful by the end of the day, I shut down their pleadings, promptly and grumpily.
Here are some video links from the day:
