what happened to the part about "in sickness and in health?"
if you haven't discovered from the last post, moira and i have been sick with pneumonia. can you say major suckage??? if you can't, i'll say it in my behalf.
this funky sickness this past week in short, became a major eye-opening experience for me. basically, for the past seven years of being married and the 4+ years of being a parent, i have never asked for someone to take over the reins because i was simply too sick to deal. i usually wake up and deal because, isn't that what my less than stellar paying job title entails? when i had major morning sickness for like seven months with moira, i still dealt with celia. because that is my job. because i chose to stay home with our children. because, i guess, i'm fucking omnipotent. rich out of town and "mustafa's revenge" (my new favorite saying from 180/360) has seized our home? i heave and hock with them. soon, very soon, i'll teach them to wipe their own vomit and asses along with their poor, poor, poor mother's.
simply, this weekend - i dropped out. my body flew it's own white flag of defeat. i became incapacitated. whatever, i know, i know, I KNOW! i'm not babbling away for you to feel sorry for me because i personally HATE whiny-assed sick people. you're sick? deal with it because i have to! but this is was the one time since i had the flu back in 1998 that i really, really, REALLY wanted my mother. wait! i'm the mother now, who will care for me? ummm... that would be a resounding me?
where was rich? let's just say he did a great job occupying the kids (because i wasn't seeming to budge out of the bed quick enough when chocolate milk requests were given) but bringing me a damn diet coke in my death bed? not-so-much. let's just say the heating pad was my "little buddy" for my aching neck due to crazy pain and the same five commercials on mtv's replay of the WHOLE past season of "so you think you can dance?" comforted me and asked me how i was doing every 30 minutes. for 48 hours.
basically, if we are to EVAH renew our vows, the part of "in sickness and in health" bullshit will definitely need to be voided out of the clause. just so WE KNOW not to expect much out of the other person when they are about to expire on death's door.
