Hello World.

It's funny, how we are with our kids. After December, there was New Year. Then there was me getting sick. I saw it coming. Wifey didn't get me Emergen-C as requested lol. Regardless, I got slammed. Well I consider it slammed. Headache. Body aches. No fever. Cough. No voice. Throat that hurt like it was on fire. And lots and lots of congestion. Wifey took great care of me, and I roughed through it. We had little sleep between the two of us due to kids and family events. I stayed away to not make her sick for once. Took Tylenol. She made me tea.

I went to work for two days while sick and just sucked it up because I could speak again. Stayed away from my clients and declined handshakes stating why which they greatly appreciated.

Come today I feel tons better. Just the annoying cough now and necessity of blowing my nose every time I bend over lol.

Then Wifey gets home with the kids and texts me about my oldest. She's 7, but sounds like 10. Always smiles and flowers. Apparently she has a headache and her tummy doesn't feel good.

Immediately both of us go into Momma and Poppa Bear mode. I'm asking questions and Wifey is giving me answers. She's updating me on the situation as I pick up meds on the way home. We bend our night to focus on her which does include me postponing the work I had left tonight for a client of mine.

Here it is 2am, and I've spent over four hours on this server fixing the stupidest buggy software I think I've ever touched. You know what? I don't care.

Our daughter is sleeping peacefully in her bed. Our other two are dreaming quietly, and Wifey is getting some much needed rest.

Our kids are worth it.
