Master Blaster

Have you ever had an epiphany? I'm usually too busy...but the other day, after Declan had thrown his fifth "I'm sick and I want to be held" fit of the day, I realized that we're Master Blaster. You know, the two-man killing machine in Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome? There are two parts to Master Blaster: master the brains, aka Declan, and blaster the brawn, aka me. Master controlls blaster while sitting on his shoulders, and while our main focus is not controlling the general population, Declan does give a lot of demands while perched on me. I've known for awhile that he's not exactly sure we aren't one person, but with this epiphany I think I finally get it! I'm here to do his bidding and exist for no other cause.

But seriously, Declan's been sick and I don't know why, but this is making him extra, extra clingy. He's screamed all the way through several meals all while pointing and lunging toward me. It would break my heart if I wasn't so damn exhausted. The first few days, I endured and took him everywhere he needed. Now, I'm ready for it to be over. But I don't get to choose, so I'm predicting one stressful weekend.

Chardonnay take me away...
