Dear Male People,
I am not better because I am not resting. I am not resting because I am taking care of more male people. To wit, my 20 month old male has done the following in the last two days when I should have been resting:
1. Written in Sharpie all over our antique dining room table.
2. Fallen off said table onto his back.
3. Played with scissors.
4. Emptied out box of cereal on floor to give to the dogs.
5. Danced in fireplace.
6. Sucked on dog kibble and then fed it to the dogs.
7. Dragged play lawnmower into house and tried to mow the carpet.
8. Will not eat anything except crackers.
9. Refused to take naps.
10. Will not stop climbing into the tub fully dressed.
See what I mean? No resting, male people. If you expect me to get better, please cease and desist all male activity effective immediately.
Love,
The Management
Goodness! He’s been a busy beaver. I take it that he’s feeling dandy?
Toi–He’s sick, too, except he is obviously not the wimp I am. He and I have both had fevers since Tuesday, but his don’t seem to make him want to sob gently into his pillow like mine do.
Oh god, you’re scaring me, remember, I am having a boy here very shortly. I’m terrified!!!
How do they always know when you are weak and easy to take advantage of?
I tried not to laugh while reading your post, because I have one of those who does very similar things when mommy’s half in the bag from sickness- they do grow out of it eventually but in the meantime, Baby Einstein videos are helpful in catching a good 20-30 minutes.
I hope you feel better soon.

This brought tears to my eyes…I love the part of dancing in the fireplace and feeding the dogs a bag of cereal. Nico is going to change his identity when he’s old enough. Nico? Nope that’s not me some other guy who used to suck on kibble, no I…
I’m sorry I laughed at this because you are sick, but I totally understand where you are coming from. If my husband and kids are sick, stop the presses. If I’m sick, I still get, “What are we supposed to eat for dinner?”
I printing this letter out and giving my husband a copy!
Hope you are feeling better!
