The End of a Long Hard...Day
OK, so, it started at 3 AM when Gabe woke up screaming that his nose hurt. Whenever he doesn't feel well he just sort of wanders around the house yelling at whoever will listen. It's especially unpleasant in the middle of the night. Anyway, I referred him to his mother and tried to go back to sleep. It was hard. I heard him throw up, and cry, and throw up again. I pretended to be asleep so I wouldn't have to get up. Eventually I really did fall back asleep, but had to get up at 6 AM. After about twelve hours of work, I am done. Gabe is done throwing up so he'll probably go to school tomorrow. I have at least part of the day off, so it should be better than today. Again, before you can say anything, I will reiterate that I am a bad father.
