In sickness and in health

In sickness and in health applies more to your kids than your spouse. In my case, when my wife gets sick, I have minimul duties other than to keep the meds flowing and let her sleep.

In the case of my kids, I have a lot more to do. Katy came down with a 106 degree fever this past week. That meant giving her a bath to get her temp down, getting her dressed and to the emergency room, picking up the prescription while holding a tired baby at 2 am and then holding her until 7 am when she finally fell asleep. Then getting up at 10 am to help with her sister while my wife went on to work.

When my wife is sick, I don't have to hold her, rock her to sleep, dress her etc. Toddlers need that and more. So when you have kids, remember, its in sickness and in health. Especially the sickness!

New Year Resolutions

My New Year Resolutions:

1. To get the girls potty trained.

2. To get them using a spoon at meal time. (Forks way to dangerous yet).

3. To find time to golf (like losing weight, this will not likely happen)

4. To get the twins singing at least one Elvis tune by December.

Funny how your resolutions change once you have kids.
