10 Reasons I Love My Husband
December 29, 2007
- He was deathly ill Christmas Eve, but still helped me entertain his family here at home.
- He was closer to death Christmas morning, but managed to help build toys, play the Wii, and get through Christmas dinner at his Aunt’s without actually dying.
- Encroaching on death Boxing Day, he got up early with me, drove me to the airport to get the rental car, reloaded the kids and our gifts and suitcases into the rental (a PT Cruiser!), picked up my brother and his girlfriend in our car, and drove 4 hours to my Granny and Papa’s.
- He survived a very loud and very chaotic Christmas dinner with my very loud and very chaotic (and very insane) family.
- Throughout said dinner, he tried (unsuccessfully) to get my Granny to SIT DOWN ALREADY AND LET THE YOUNG’UNS CLEAN UP.
- Gave me his strep throat/fever/death sentence without even kissing me. Talent!
- He spent half of December 27th driving all over Eastern Ontario to find the only walk-in clinic for miles for both of us. There were 30 people ahead of us, so we hit the local pharmacy and bought Buckley’s. If you’re not familiar with Buckley’s, it tastes like melted down Balsam pine needles. Imagine sucking on your Christmas tree. Gross.
- Did shots of the nastiness that is Buckley’s with me for the last 3 days. True love.
- Put up with my constant whining about how sore my throat is, how much my head hurts, how much my body aches and WHY WHY WHY do I have to menstruate anymore since my uterus is no longer a baby factory?
- He still loves me despite reasons 1 through 9.

OMG, you poor things~!
Here’s hoping everyone is better before New Year’s Eve.
Love is … sharing germs. And medicine.

Awh how sweet.
If you take LOTS of cough medicine, you can get high. Just throwing that out there. Probably not the best idea to do because it can kill you. Also just throwing that out there. You should be careful when taking cough medicine.
