It's Saturday and I am home with a feverish toddler while my dear hubby works the AM signing warrants and detaining bad guys.... And yes, Bam-Bam has a fever that seems to be hovering in the 103-102 neighborhood. I got called out of work yesterday at about 10:45 to come and get him. And as much as I like the winter (I know, crazy) I do not like what it does to my darling boy because this is his third winter and he always, always gets sick and feverish during this time. Took him to the doc yesterday. Doc was very stressed and not very friendly with us. She did a quick nasal swab (after my hubby insisted) and ruled out H1N1 for the second time in two weeks.
At this point I'm basically looking up at the sky to God or whoever the heck is up there and saying, "really, are you f-ing serious with this?" I know, not nice to swear when you talk to God but I'm sure she has better things to do than correct me for my language. So I figure, this is life. So, as he watches his 10th installment of Wonder Pets while he relaxes wearing his slippers and Mickey Mouse ears on the couch with his pillow and stuffed animals, I will type a totally random post. Here goes...
1) Ever since Thanksgiving last week I am dying for more sweet potato pie. I know it's wrong but I just want to take the whole thing and eat it like a cartoon character. You know, shove it in and you can see the pie shape in my neck, then a gulp....
2) This morning I am doing my very first online grocery shopping. I have dreamt of this day ever since the day I made my first online order some 10-12 years ago. Another way to be lazy...I love it!
3) I'm getting kind of sick of Wonder Pets.
4) I'm starting to wonder if my boss is going to get pissed at me for missing so much work with my sick little man as well as me being on my death bed last week. Well, my attitude is that there is nothing I can do about it and I am not going to leave my kid with some stranger while he is sick. He needs his mother. So I guess I will cross that bridge if I come to it. Bottom line - the kid is more important than the job. If she fires me, we will deal with it.
5) I kind of wonder if Bam-Bam's fever is because his two year molars are coming in. He will not stop chomping on his hands. They are constantly wet and cold.
6) I should probably get off my ass and do the dishes, start some laundry, etc. But I just can't seem to muster the strength.
7) The Wii Fit that I bought my husband for Christmas is really mine. I need to find something else to get him that will be a surprise. Any ideas?
8) Due to recent circumstances, the hubby and I have not had occasion for nooky in a VERY long time and it is beginning to annoy the piss out of me. I'm not ever sure I remember how it's done.
9) I want to move down south where people are friendlier, the weather isn't bitterly cold and causing fever symptoms all the time and the economy is good.
10) Now I AM going to get off my ass and do some stuff. I can feel it spreading as I type.
Cheerio!!!!!!!

I am sorry your child is sick . . .
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what to get your husband . . . maybe more nooky?? I know, that was lame.
I'll be cleaning with you today.
If you ever do come south, drop by Little Rock, AR. We ARE nicer here! Except when we are driving surrounded by idiots.
So sorry Bam-Bam is still feeling bad. Hope the ick is over soon.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't want to be in Florida this morning, stinkin' cold. Just not right.
Thanks, Caroline & Tara. Caroline, great idea to give the nooky. Perhaps I will get some black underwear for me and present it to him. Tara dear, have you any idea how cold it is in Detroit right now? Lets just say that I could cut glass with my nips.
ReplyDelete#4 was such a huge stinking deal for me when I was a career lady. My girls were in a daycare center and were sick all the time, and I'd get sick and they'd get sick again and it caused a lot of stress at work. I had the same attitude as you do, but it still kind of bothered me to walk in on my first day back. Everyone was so good about it, but that guilt. Gah! I hear ya.
ReplyDeleteI think you have my son except roughly 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteOur winters were horrible- constantly sick.
It will get better.
I LOVE winter.
