selenite came home, took over the kids mid-dinner, and sent me up for a nap. It was a fitful, in-and-out, disturbing dreams kind of nap, but it helped.
While I was napping, in addition to the standard care of the kids, he got a load of dishes running, and got Jamie bathed and dressed in clean clothes.
He peeked in on me at the kids' bedtime, to see if I wanted to do storytime with them. Oh yes I did. Jamie was so marvelously gleeful to see me, giggling and doing a little dance at the side of the bed. Okay, he wanted to nurse, but it still made me feel good. We had a family cuddle while he nursed, then storytime.
And I came downstairs to find
selenite had also baked some chocolate chip cookies for us.
He's marvelous. I'm going to marry him. Wait, I did that already. Well, he's marvelous.
