um…you ok in there?
I came home Monday night to a slightly pale wife…and the color continued to drain. She began wearing a path in the hardwood between the couch and the bathroom. I started hearing sounds like that I made the first night home with Tony. I felt so bad for her. So around 10:00, while Tony was napping, I went to the Wine/ BP station to pick up some ginger ale and Gatorade. They only had the 6 oz ginger ales so I bought 4. Ghetto…
When I got home, I prepared the couch. I knew she wanted to be left alone…and I wanted to stay the hell away from her. And sleeping in Tony’s room never works. Every time he grunts, it wakes me up. I heard Sarah up a few times through the night, and watched some bad late night tv.
Now the bright side of this…I had a great day at home with Tony. I had planned on staying home today and having Sarah take Tony to the grand-mom’s. However, with her not going to work, I decided just to keep Tony here. It was awesome. He’s so amazing. I know men who are either afraid to be alone with their child or too selfish to give up that time, but I am not that person. I loved today. It was nice to just be “dad”.
I also picked up Jack at school. The first time I have picked him up from school. It was a strange thing. Sitting in the car line, Tony snoring in the back seat, waiting for the school bell to ring. Makes me a little sad to think it won’t happen again for a while. It’s times like this that I really hate being a part time dad.
Anyway, Sarah is up and about. Hopefully she will be able to rehydrate tonight and eat tomorrow. Tony will go to Grandmothers. I will go to work. Jack will go to school. life will get back to “normal”. But today…sorry Sarah…was a good day.
