Getting Sick Part Deux

Greetings-

Well, I guess my fever yesterday was just my body's way of telling me to go lay down and rest.  I'm feeling relatively well today.

Things aren't looking so well for one of my male spawn, though.  His ear is an enraged organ tonight.  I try to tell him to pull his stocking cap down over his ears when he goes outside but, as any of you with children can attest to, my child thinks that I am the dumbest creature roaming the earth.  Anything I say to my child is summarily ignored until it comes to the "I told you so" moment.  I then become the wisest human being to ever walk this blue planet.

He's finally asleep now with a big wad of cotton stuck in his ear and a Tylenol coursing through his blood stream.
Hopefully he'll be able to stay asleep as I don't think I could handle many more howls of pain.

Until next time,
-Bill

We're All Sickos


Congratulations bronchitis! You've brought my entire household to a standstill.

We're all laying around coughing and wheezing. We all sound and feel like zombies.

I hate the change of seasons in Kansas. It's that special time of year when the leaves change color and all of us here at the house succumb to various degrees of various illnesses. Some of us do nothing but sleep while we're sick, and some of us can't sleep at all. Some of us can only sleep in small increments. It's like we've all turned into grumpy toddlers. We're all whiny, needy children stuck inside and getting on each others nerves.
