Case Number 1,297 on why women are better than men

The entire Lange family had a stomach virus recently. Son was first to heave-ho (Friday), followed by Frick and Frack on Sunday. Mom and dad came down with a belly ache on Monday, as the kid's ailments lingered on.

Anyway, Artie and son were both lifeless, unable to walk, talk, or blog; while daughters and mom carried on in spite of the virus. Mrs. Lange cleaned, Mrs. Lange did laudry, Mrs. Lange took care of the kids. The girls played, made a mess and did everything that (almost) two year olds should do.

Artie and son slept and slept. Artie slept on the couch. Son fell asleep in the stairs. Artie made it into bed. Son, who refused to go to bed, slept on the living room floor.

As Artie's sister-in-law put it: "The girls are learning to be mommies; mommies aren't aloud to get sick."

Given the predilections of two-year-olds to vomit, crap, and urinate on themselves, how can you tell if they're sick?

Mommies and the self-employed...

So it must be that Self-Employed Mommies are made of titanium.

Pistols,
They actually want to be near me.

Bert,
So true about the self-employed. It is exactly that awareness that makes you presidential material. Any thoughts of reconsidering?
