Paper-towels have replaced all kitchen and hand towels for the time being. I realize this is a very ungreen, tree killing, wasteful thing to do. I do not care. The sooner we are released from this prison the better. And if I have to fill up an entire landfill in the process, so be it.
But heaven forbid I go anywhere with him because I will come under the wrath of "mommy judgement." You know, the eyes rolling back in the head and the muttering, "Oh my gosh, I can't buh-lieve she is out with that sick child. The neeeeeerve. "
And I understand because I have been guilty of the same thing myself. It's one of the few times as a parent that we actually feel like we are doing a slightly better job than someone else. (Which, I'm convinced, is the only reason Toddlers and Tiaras is so popular. It's the only reason I watch it.)
And then if anyone in the metro-area comes down with the flu I will be blamed and I will actually feel sort of guilty about it like it was a little bit my fault.
I digress...
In other news, this girl is feeling a little neglected. She actually has to go to school and piano and church. Oh the humanity!
A lot of our conversations end with Mia stomping off to her room these days. I'm terrified at what the future holds.
I also realized that I forgot to brush Bode's teeth yesterday (and maybe the day before) so I predict next week will include some kind of emergency baby tooth root canal.
At this point, nothing would surprise me.
And here is the annoying thing: Bode feels just fine. Hasn't had the slightest sign of a fever since Wednesday night.
(I told Bode that spinach smoothies are medicine and unless he drinks them up he may never leave the house again. Sucker.)

I'm thinking that list is for Andy tomorrow so you can escape for a while???
See you Monday or Tuesday. And I forbid anyone to blame you for contracting the flu virus. Now, if I get it, I know that it came from Bode who touched the book that I can not put down. Mwahahahahah.
Just catching up on all my blog reading and oh. my. I don't know what to say...but the list of meds is enough to want to crawl into the closet with a chocolate bar. This too shall pass?
