Thursday - TLC for Mom
May. 4th, 2006 02:54 pmToday on my drive into work, I was thinking about how the same stomach virus that makes a year old boy just slightly sick for a day or so can leave a grown adult weak as a kitten, laying on the couch for 2 days while the toddler who brought the bug home in the first place completely dismantles the house because mom is too weak and sick to get up and stop him.
I got to spend the last two days at home with my son, but it wasn't exactly quality time from my point of view. From his point of view, it was a very productive couple of days. He emptied drawers that we have not installed safety latches on yet. He figured out how to thwart safety latches on cabinets that do have them. He removed all of the plastic ware from the kitchen cabinet and covered the kitchen floor with Rubbermaid bowls and lids. He handed me dozens of items that I didn't even learn we owned, like the can of butane that he presented to me after lunch.
( Stale Cheerios, and other gifts of Quality Time )
