I went into school yesterday to collect TJ and came back full of sniffles, "I'm allergic to kids' I joked on the way back. TJ didn't get it.
Then this morning I woke up full of 'man flu' - head banging, body aching, full blown cold symptoms - lots of fun!
I told Papa as he left for work that I felt awful.
"You should stay in bed today then," came the sympathetic reply as he left the house.
So sweet I thought... and then remembered I had to get the boys up and ready for school - which with them at different schools takes a good 90minutes. Then after that I had to walk the bouncy puppy. I got home and sat down. Papa called, "Are you resting?" he said. I smiled, then he added, "Because I haven't any clean shirts left so could you wash and iron me some please?" I stopped smiling.
"I thought I wa supposed to be resting?" I said.
"Well, I thought about it and realised that you can't so I thought you might as well be kept busy," said Papa laughingly.
Haha...
So I have just finished hanging out the clothes and am sitting down for lunch.
Papa called back "Shall I get dinner tonight?" he asked.
"That would be nice," I replied, "Especially as I have to take TJ to his piano lesson and then collect KC from rugby after."
"Great," he said, "Chinese or Fish and Chips?"
To be honest I don't care - as long as I don't have to cook it.
Stay at home parents should be allowed to include sick days in their scope of work... except they can't...
