My husband rocks

OK, so this is shameless bragging on my hubbie; but he he deserves it!

A stomach bug has been moving mercilessly through our kiddos since Wednesday; thankfully it moves fast- about six hours.  Three came down with it yesterday evening/night.  He voluntarily did night shift, got little sleep, and went in to work today (not feeling tip top himself).  He works in the heat (inside out of the sun, but still), and even though he has a fan on him- it is HOT! 105' has been our normal high these last two weeks, maybe longer. He felt compelled to work because his shop has not had anything for him to do for the last week and a half or so.  He is a welder, and makes a good living, but they just ran into the "perfect storm" of lack of parts, lack of planning, and a supplier with a melt down.  Sometimes this happens.  Luckily he is in high demand and was able to fill in a few days here and there with some contract work.  It has been wonderful having him home.  The kids LOVE it when he is home!  But when it rains it pours, literally, so he has two shops needing him ASAP and his shop needing jobs out.

Poor guy, to be hit with the bug at this time is too ironically unfair.  He just won't allow himself to be sick.  Because he works by the piece (he gets paid for each weld made, not by the hour) his vacation time rate is not what he makes on even a slow day, so taking vacation time to help make up the difference is really not a help.
So, my hubbie is out there, in the uber-heat, trying to get in a good day despite the fact that he feels really bad.
He deserves a medal.
He is the best hubbie and daddy ever, bar none.
Pray that he stays hydrated and gets well soon.
