I have decided that the best way for Wifey and I to enjoy our weekend away from Little Man is to get sick right before we leave. That way if I am absolutely miserable with the lack of contact with my wonderful little boy I can blame it on the malady and not my general wussitude. All my moody pouty looks will be attributed to my sinuses filling to the point of bursting. My vacant distraction will be attributed to my dependence on sinus medication to survive, not to my utter helplessness of not being near to Little Man just in case something goes wrong.
So, sorry Wifey, my decision is final. I will be sick this weekend so that you do not think me a weak weak pitiful man. Plus you gave it to me.
Okay, all things being equal, I really am fighting off some kind of crappy bug. I think Little Man gave it to Wifey, who in turn gave it to me. Little Man and Wifey seem to be on the edge of being non-sick. If they are both nice and recovered tomorrow, that would add a whole other level of “peace of mind” for me. I would hate to be out of town for the first time whilst the young one was not feeling good. I, on the other hand, am just now really starting to feel un-well from this particular illness. Tomorrow, I hope, should be the peak of my sickness. Then I hope I will start slowly feeling better (it has lingered for a long time with Little Man and Wifey… a loooooong time).
It will be really nice to just be able to spend some time with Wifey where we are not constantly trying to know what Little Man is doing (moving the sofa) or where Little Man is going (out the locked back door). That task we are leaving for Mimma. It will be refreshing for me to actually get caught up with the trials and tribulations in Wifey’s life that we currently do not talk about because even when the constant needy ball of need that is Little Man is asleep a conversation tends to get in the way of house up-keep and our sleep. It is true that Wifey may not be happy to re-hash everything, but this blog isn’t about her, now is it?
I am looking forward to getting out of the city. I need some time away.
To recap:
We leave tomorrow afternoon for a vacation without Little Man
It will be little more than a long weekend
Or an eternity, in some ways
I really am trying to fend off this malady before tomorrow but it seems like one of those things that just wants to linger
And linger it is…
Have a great weekend everyone

SRH, I hope you feel better. I discovered a natural nasal spray called 'Sinofresh' that works well when I catch colds and such. I get it at Walgreens. Other drug stores have it, too. I hope you and your wife have a wonderful time. I'll stop back by your blog when you resume posting. Best of luck!
SRH,
I hope you and Wifey have a great vacation. Don't worry about Little Man and me, we'll be fine. I certainly won't be where you are this weekend. So if Wifey mentions she needs to slip out for some alone time or something you can bet it isn't to share a clandestine game of Scrabble with me.
No way.
hope that you have a great time away.
my kids are 13 and 14 and last month was the first time i ever left them for some me time. it was rejuvenating to say the least. but still i missed them so much. hope your weekend is filled with fun and laughter and goes by fast enough that you'll be home in no time.
Hey hope you had a great weekend, hope you weren't really that sick!

I did not have a chance to try out the "sinofresh," but i have had previous good results with nasal irrigation products. Nasty stuff resides in the unkempt nasal passages.
Anon:
I will have you know that Wifey and I spent the entirety of the weekend together. There was no sign of you. So, "HA!"
Kimmyk:
It was a great time to be had by all. Wifey and I did well, and Little Man did well as well.
CG:
The illness passed faster than I thought it would. All in all a really enjoyable weekend.
SRH,
Do you remember sleeping at all?
