Shawn and I were both sick all weekend and then I started to feel better and he started to feel worse. I tried to be sympathetic (I did!) but part of me (okay, almost all of me) was convinced that he was putting one on. To get out of doing the dishes.
Yes, I am a gem of a wife, I know.
In my defense, Shawn really hates doing the dishes so I end up doing them most of the time. But then I get to a point where I cannot even look at another dirty dish and I announce that next time the dishes need to be washed, it's his turn.
On Monday I came home from work and the kitchen was still a mess so I did a little grumbling and reheated some soup and added the pot to the pile of dirty dishes. And thought spiteful thoughts of how the pile of dishes was only going to grow the longer he was "sick."
And then Shawn stayed home from work on Tuesday, which he never does.
And went to the doctor on his own accord, which he never does.
And then his doctor started throwing around words like pneumonia and bronchial inflammation and fluid in the lungs.
Basically I am a giant jerkface is what I'm saying.
And I washed the dishes last night.

In your defense, men generally get Man Colds...how could you know that this time was different.
ReplyDeleteHope he's better soon!!
My coworker and her husband (and me and my husband!) all have the same stupid bug. And my coworkers husband has bronchitis now. Oy. I hope I'm like you and just get better already!
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of this all the time. I am always accusing him of being a baby and "just get over it and clean the kitchen already."
ReplyDeleteI hope he feels better soon!
Wait. You did the dishes *and* you stirred his peanut butter? Dude, this guy has got it made.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, men usually do get Man Colds and Man Flu, so I wouldn't feel too bad, but yikes, those are some scary words... I hope he's feeling better ASAP!

ReplyDeleteIn your defense Man Flu's and pnemonia have very similar symptoms. Hope Shawn is feeling better, and the dishes magically do themselves.
ReplyDeletePoor you guys! Being sick is the worst. Second only to doing dishes.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're starting to feel better!
ReplyDeleteI totally get how you are though - and seriously wonder if his symptoms aren't a *little* bit exaggerated! lol... Hope he feels better soon!
Ugh, lame about the pneumonia.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad dude. You had no idea he wasn't just man-colding!
Men are always trying to get out of doing the dishes, and most other things.
ReplyDeleteBut I REALLY hope Shawn feels better soon and that he's ok!!
