we're taking turns napping today. first the wife slept in. then i closed my eyes for over an hour. then the kid quickly passed out attached to me.
but when i came out from the bedroom from the nap i had to force myself out of, the wife pointed out this scene:

in her words, "i let him have at it because it was the only way i could contain him." (z likes to press buttons. all those buttons. and will do everything he can to secure access to said buttons.)
but i digress. our little family has come out of our vacation time a tad more relaxed but sadly, a bit worse for wear. the wife and babe have been fighting a virus. so, needless to say, the babe would prefer to be attached to me at all times. and i wish i could do more to play nurse to the wife. all the while there's so much housework to be done, i'm embarassed to tell you about any of it. so i won't.
what i will say is i don't even know where to start.
all my efforts feel like one step forward, two steps back. which means that in all likelihood, i will be returning to this space to share what we've been up to the last couple of weeks(procrastination reigns supreme, after all).
