And when you get sick I'm imagining you drag yourself out of bed to fix him breakfast and he wonders why you aren't in a better mood?

What a hilarious thread - thanks for the chuckles everyone. Carter, I love your writing and I definitely recognize my husband in your depictions!

I could have written this exact same post about my husband. Good grief! You have my sympathy.

We call that the Man Flu!

HAHAHAHA laughing out loud here! Carter, you are hysterical.

Tex, you are so right! Funny how the wife/mom is always expected to be a functioning member of the family no matter what. Thank heavens we have the fortitude to handle the job.

Thanks, Chouette! It is comforting to know that I'm not the only one who has to deal with this. We'll be here for you next time your husband gets a cold!

Thanks, Marmee. I think we're coming out of it. Yesterday the doctor told him it shouldn't last more than 7 days. He started his count last Thursday when the offending virus invaded. Mid morning today, he said, "today's the 7th day, so I should be well enough to go to the office for a few hours." Yippee!

The Man Flu! Love that, Glory!

Thanks, Aquamarine. Sometimes it's either laugh or curl up in a little ball. I'll take laughter!
