Days like this

Someone rings at the door and my 2 years old shouts "pizza man". Obviously he forgot that his mother is used to order online and that at 1:35 PM usually we do not order pizzas.

But hey, he's been in the US for 9 months now so is getting used to eat at any time.

Well ending up being the UPS delivery for some books. Yes she (my wife) is reading and not only blogs and tweets.

That will make the day better for her. This morning I had a Tele-Conf at 8AM. I could not drive the kids school. So she had to get out of the bed, make the breakfast and drive the kids. As yesterday she decided I will stay in bed, it's been two days in a row. Since I'm home since a month now, it's my daily task to do that (and the dish washing, clothes washing, feed the kids and so on). When she drives the kids (and wake them up, make breakfast, dress them, check their homework and so on), I feel sad. I know she wants me to rest, but I do not want her to be under so many constraints.

I'm usually out several days in the week and several months I've been working out of home all the week long including several week-ends. I feel guilty about this. Having my wife to deal with everything going around and not been able to support her.  I know that it's a usual cliche but I do not know how to make her life better when I'm not here. I do try to do few things when I'm in and do my best at it (I will never clean the house as well as she does). Life is unfair sometimes.

I appreciate a lot the fact she is not upset. I guess her new diet is going well and that brighten her day.

Well that's a nice day for me. I hope she will have better days but, as she enjoys some of the moments she had, this one not being bad, I guess she could have some more, right?
