Kumquat may be too young to fetch Daddy’s beer from the fridge but she’s already helping with getting it home from the grocery store.

The actual reason I bought beer for Jes today was because he helped me out last night when I wasn’t feeling my best.  All day yesterday I wasn’t feeling like my usual self.  I was lethargic, achey, and had a headache all day.  By the evening, I was ready to fall asleep around 8:30 and had the craziest chills.  At midnight when the baby woke up crying and needed to be fed, I was burning hot all over and my legs were stiff and sore.  After feeding Kumquat, I took some Tylenol and Jes helped soothe her back to sleep while I passed out instantly.  At 2:30 am, it was time for another feeding and I woke up sweaty all over.  Unfortunately, Kumquat was not in the mood to go back to sleep so Jes got up again to hang out with her until she was ready. I think it took about a half hour by the time she went back to sleep.  By the morning, I had gotten up a couple more times to feed and was feeling progressively better but still exhausted so I slept in until 10:00 am while Jes got up to do the diaper changes, etc.  Once I was up and showered, I felt like a new person.  I was ready to go outside and the first stop was Safeway…to buy my husband a 12-pack of beer. 🙂
