Kudzu Jelly: I don't know how she does it.

I don't know how she does it.

I didn't get a thing done around the house. I hardly ate a thing all day. But at the end of the day, Libby was fed, reasonably clean, and happy.

Now let me explain. Tarah is sick. Not just a little sick. I'm talking the kind of sick where you lose everything you've ate in the last 10 years, SICK. It hit her Wednesday afternoon and showed no mercy. So Thursday morning, I got up and went to the office at 5:30 to receive in our truck, then I came home. That was the easy part of my day, I just didn't know it. Libby didn't wake up until some time around 8, in a good mood and ready for breakfast. It's one of her three favorite meals. I naively thought that I would be able to do some laundry or dishes when she went back down for her nap. HA! First, she didn't want to nap. Then when she did go down, I had to lay in the bed with her and she nearly pushed me off the edge of the mattress. How can someone so small take up an entire bed? Eat, play, maybe nap(but only with Daddy right there). Lather, rinse, repeat. This was the whole day. Libby has turned into a Daddy's girl(insert GINORMOUS grin here) and didn't want me to put her down and leave the room. Libby does this to Tarah everyday, and yet Tarah still gets things done around here. HOW!?

Tarah is doing a little better. She managed to keep some food down but she is still a little weak and dehydrated. Granddad will be here today because I must go back to that evil place called work. I still don't have a clue as to how Tarah manages to do all she does, and I probable won't ever know. But I do know this, she is incredible at her job and I'm a VERY poor substitute. To all you moms out there, I don't know how you do all that you do but keep up the good work. The world would fall apart if you didn't. I know my little part of it suffers whenever Daddy tries to do Moma's job. I love you Tarah.
