Since Malachi has been sick and vomiting off and on for close to a week now, we are being responsible parents and keeping him home. Which means he is with me all day long. Which also means I don't get anything done because I have my hands full. No objections, please, mothers of the universe who might read this. I am well aware of your superhuman ability to accomplish a wide variety of tasks while managing younglings. I am not a mother. Malachi clearly suffers from total meltdown when I am not devoting all of my attention to him, so I find it impossible to get anything done.

And my final word on the subject is: I love my son and have no problem spending all day with him.
