dear litigator

want to earn dad of the year?
bring home ice cream. 
3 of the 6 are laid out dazed and groggy with rosy cheeks.
L is crabby, clingy and feverish.
F is doing pretty well since his advil kicked in. 
we've watched movies, eaten smoothies, rice pudding and pirates booty.
we've played legos, games and watched the chickens in the rain.
i would like it to be bedtime now. 
especially since neither of us got more than 45 minutes at a time all night. i'm in some alternate universe today.

the truth is, you've already got my vote. it was blissful when you got up to help b & a and let me stay in bed with little L.
also grateful (because i was unaware) that you got up and took S to seminary when her ride didn't show.
i want you to know i appreciate it all. and we'll try not to be too drenched in sickness when you get home. 
i've got some windows open.
i've got the great race to watch with the kids. should we make it a family movie night?
