Once when I was in High School I was sick and having fit full sleep I was having messed up dreams of wrestling practice where people were burying me in a hole in the ground by throwing logs over it. I was pretty loopy and somehow stumbled into my step mom at about 4 am. It turned out that I had a temp of 107 and was completely out of my gourd.

Another time I had my wisdom teeth pulled. Needed to go get meds at the insurance places pharmacy 20 miles away. Called Dad to see if I could mooch a ride and he started yelling something about how Mom should be doing it. I said something to get him to chill out and then hung up. Driving 30 miles with bleeding holes in your mouth sucks.

Okay, okay, get that freakin’ jar opener up and running so you can entertain us with new blogs. I’m bored. And bored is not a good place for me to be. Next comes on-line shopping.

This is why I love me some Shauna Glenn. I'm first in line to make fun of a sick man, especially my own.

But there's just sheer genius and truth in this account.

Oh, and I have to go to the doctor with my husband even when he's not sick, because despite his intelligence and business success, he can't sit there and look at another successful educated and intelligent man (the Dr.) and explain his has a boil on his ass or that he hasn't been able to breathe through his left nostril for the last four months or whatever. I have to explain it all, including what it feels like and where it hurts.

You are woman of the year, living with a sick jar opener!

Shauna Glenn 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon now, give the man a mulligan.

In Mexico Land, there's a term for this type of behavior.

It's called "mamitis."

In layman's terms, it refers to the origin of our need/desire/hope our spouses will nurse us frail bodies during illness.

We revert back to the days of momma making everything better.

It is the ONLY time the women in my life wait on me.

I had the flu this past Feb., and you better believe I milked the "mamitis" to death.

By the way, those Doc-In-A-Box places are the best! I have a doctor (insurance gatekeeper), but he's usually unavailable.

No worries, Bren. Tommy says he never reads Shauna’s blog. I have trouble believing him, mainly because there is no way I would be able to not read a blog written by MY wife. BUT he denies reading it and, since they are still together, he must be telling the truth.
