I've been sick and whiny all week. If I were Steve, I would've sent me to my room, locked the door and thrown the key away. But I'm not Steve. Instead, he got up on Sunday morning, got the kids out the door, played last minute substitute teacher for my Sunday School class, and allowed me to curl up on the couch in my pajamas for both Sunday AND Monday. He also did the Sunday afternoon clean up. (The house always seems to explode during the Sunday morning rush to get ready for church) He's been great in the evenings, doing whatever he can to make stuff easy on me, even if that just means playing referree and answering the hundreds of questions the kids come up with.
Last night he really came through for me. He surprised me with 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's (Chubby Hubby and Half Baked) and this....
Yes, he brought me War and Peace. I read Crime and Punishment and Anna Karenina a couple of summers ago and have been talking about wanting to read War and Peace ever since. It's something I've mentioned before, but it's been awhile, so Steve gets "good husband" bonus points for stopping and buying this for me. Not that he needs any more points. His score is off the chart this year already. Although, now that I think about it, maybe he bought it for me so I would stop trying to talk to him while he is trying to read "The Poisonwood Bible". Hmmmm.
Anyway, this is the newest (and supposedly the best) translation. Sure this might take me a month to read, but I'm looking forward to it. As you can see, ZuZu is unimpressed by War and Peace and just wanted me to give her the treat I promised if she would sit still for the picture.
