Oh how I love this man. We had a... "fun" weekend with the stomach flu. Jake came down with the stomach bug around 4 in the morning on Friday. Isn't it the worst when your kids or spouse are sick- so much worse than when you're sick yourself. Jake is so tough. After spending a little one on one time with the toilet, Jake decided he was well enough to go help his friend out with some pest control stuff. After 2 hours of that he realized he had overestimated his superhuman abilities to overcome the stomach flu in just a few hours and was back home in bed for the rest of the day. He hardly complained at all and asked for very little help. He even almost fainted at one point, but played it off like it was nothing. Well, the next morning at 4 am, it was my turn. Let's just say I handle being sick a little differently than Jake. I immediately began asking Jake to help me with this and get me that. And Jake was there to help me every time. When it was my turn to have the "I almost fainted" spell, I had to have Jake hold me up, tell me what to do (put your head between your legs- it works!), and be there by my side until it was through. Then I had to have my mom come over to help me while Jake ran to do some errands. Gosh- do you think I'm a little needy?
It's funny how something so unattractive like throwing up, staying on the toilet all day, having your insides turned out, sweating like crazy, and staying in a dark stuffy room all day can make you fall more in love with someone. But it happens. Taking care of each other really made me realize how much I rely on Jake and how sweet he is to me. I only wish I treated him better when he was sick the day before me! I'm crazy about you Jake! (but let's not do the stomach flu thing again).
