Sick...and tired. Parenting with a cold sucks the mustard

Parenting is a tough job under normal circumstance but when you've got a nasty cold...wow, beating UNC at Ford Field is easier. Thank God for June, the godsend gift of a partner, parent and immunity factory. Both June and Zo are fine, it's just Dad who's falling apart. It started as a congested chest on Sunday, then morphed into a really congested chest by Monday, then started spreading to my head on Tuesday and is now a full on hammerin' kind of cold. I'm not dying, but I'm sure not doing any kind of decent job livin' either.

As we speak Zo is having a good time playing and Mom is showering for another lng day of picking up Dad's slack, and I just thought I'd get blog a little, you know, ease the congestion.

It's not working.

Absolutely Hilarious Nick-of-Time Footnote:
Aimee just sent this over and I nearly died laughing...loosened up quite a bit of the goodies in my chest and throat. "A Man Cold," that's hilarious. I'm sure I've been there before but this one isn't manifesting itself in such a way as to make me look like a complete git. Still, funny as hell though..the video, not my cold.
