DH gets the Husband of the Year Award. Of course, it's only January 3rd, but I think I can call it now. He is in the midst of shearing Danny in the bathroom, while the already-shorn Jake hangs on the sofa. He's treating both boys for -- yes, again -- lice. The fucking things will not leave our family alone. He checked me and himself, and we were okay, as was the baby. Jacob apparently was completely infested. I'm itching just thinking about it. I can't see lice, even with the magnifier on the special comb, so this shitty job falls to my husband -- he of the better eyesight and stronger constitution. You could say he's just doing his fatherly duty, and that's okay. But you have to realize he's also spent the past week tearing our apartment apart. He's sorted toys, books, and just about every kind of crap a family can accumulate. He rented the carpet cleaner from Jewel and shampooed the gross carpet in the sunroom part of the living room, and then stayed on top of it with Febreeze and fans to get it to dry with the least amount of wet-dog smell as possible. He's shlepped carloads of old computer equipment, clothes, and random flotsam and jetsam off to Computers For Schools and the Ark. But wait, there's more! He chipped a meteor off of the humidifier. He organized ALL of the kids' toys and made more room for them to play. It's astonishing what he's had the patience to do. So everyone, hats off to DH, the husband of the year! |

Good job. I wish my fiancee would harness the power of initiative and use it to get himself into school. He's been stalling, and it's getting stupid because he's generally such a good guy. Maybe I'll surreptitiously link him to this entry and see what happens. x3
