So our dear little man woke us at 4h00 this morning scratching like mad, so we covered him with calamine and put him back in bed, where I lay with him and listened to him scratch away until just after 5h00 and went back to bed to get some sleep.
He spent most of the day with my Mom. I felt guilty, but I had to get over it as I missed way too much work last month.
So, this morning we surveyed the damage, and although he has a lot of red spots, he doesn’t have a lot of blisters. And he (touch wood) still hasn’t had a fever, but the spots are everywhere, even one on top of you-know-where and he was mighty unimpressed when I tried to put some calamine there.
He is usually asleep by 8h15pm for the latest, but tonight I read to him for ages and then had to lie with him and thought he was asleep as I really wanted to watch the season finale of Brothers and Sisters. But alas, Mr had other plans, so we ignored him and he sat in the passage for a long time until hubby finally went to lie with him. Let’s see how the night goes..
Hubby and I are both feeling itchy and scratchy, but I think we are just a bit creeped out by the whole thing 🙂
On the way home this evening I was chatting to a friend that is also in her mid-30’s and has been single for ages, never married. She had decided that she was going to have a sperm donor baby next year as she really didn’t see herself finding the right guy. And then WHAM, out of the blue gets re-introduced to someone she knows from school and they are madly in love. And, after all the sad stories of so many people splitting up and getting divorced lately I remembered why I fell in love with my hubby as she is feeling exactly the same. And the only way to explain it is to quote something I heard ages ago:
it felt like I had come home.
How did you feel when you met your hubby/partner? When did you know it was right?
Poor Daniel – hope the itchy&scratchy isn’t too icky! I met my husband and fell in love almost immediately – just knew that I wanted this man in my life. It took us 6 months to get to each other as someone told me that he was married! (He didn’t even have a girlfriend! the person was just one sick puppy who enjoyed manipulating people. I knew it was right when after 6 months of trying to suppress my feelings for him because he was ‘married’ and I found out that he wasn’t married, we just clicked like we had known each other for years.
aahh, that’s lovely! Hope that sick person doesn’t bug you anymore 🙂
Oh no! Glad there is no fever. Hope it’s a mild case. Sterkte
its how we fit together without clashing at all – like missing pieces in a puzzle. It’s the ‘easiest’ relationship I have ever had. Everyone else it didnt matter how hard I tried there was always some issue.
The minute I saw my dh I knew he was going to be in my life for the rest of my life – either as a very best friend or a life partner. We met one rainy weekend in Paarl while visiting mutual friends and by the end of the weekend felt like we had 10 dates already. We got married a year later, my son was born 11 months after that….
Eish, good luck with the pox! Had to laugh at him being impressed about getting some ointment you-know-where…
And jay for your friend finding love – it is something I wish upon everyone, it’s the grandest of all feelings.
I did not fancy my Husband very much when I 1st met him, but a year later, I ran into him, went for coffee at his place, and knew instantly!
It was as if my heart had finally found it’s beat!
My Mom told me yesterday that Chicken Pox is one of the childrens diseases that you can get twice!! Oh help, Jess had it when she was 2, don’t want to go through that again thanks. I too get all itchy when I think about all those spots. xx
I agree, my relationship is also ridiculously easy, although it did need a little “maintenance”after being together for almost 10 yrs
Thnks Cams!!
Sometimes you just know..
I love how you put it 🙂
yep, the sister at Dischem also told me that. It’s Daniel’s 2nd round as well
We knew soon after we met we would be married,that was 24 years ago.
Poor Daniel,lets hold thumbs the girls get sick soon or NOT AT ALL would be great
Pocks sucks!
I remember telling my sister after I met The Bear that he is soooo not my type, but there is just something about him that makes me want to love him.
The rest is history (or rather a fairy tale).
Hope the pox are clearing! We’re also doing pox – but fortunately only a few spots!
Love the story of your friend 🙂
Wow, that’s cool! Mumps at 13??
Thanks Debs, so do I, wouldn’t like to spend Xmas away with 2 sick children
Very sweet 🙂
Good luck! Both??
