Woe is meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Holy good Lord I am sick. I can't remember a cold EVER kicking my ass the way this one is. I suspected I'd get one as Mike had been suffering from a small one last week and my little neighbor Baby P, who I simply cannot NOT pick up and smother with kisses, has been a little sick. I probably put the final...err..nail in the coffin seems a bit to melodramtic...how about "log on the fire" by camping out in the pouring rain, having only one change of clothes thereby spending several hours literally soaked to the bone and then sleeping on the ground. Like that didn't just scream, "Immune system down!!"

I even had to call in sick to work yesterday b/c I seriously couldn't move and it killed me to have to do that b/c I only have tomorrow and three shifts next week left. I was not planning on missing a single second.

Anyway, I've been a little short tempered in the mommy department (you could tell because I usually have sooooooo much patience. *please read sarcasm here*). But that being said, G had a couple good ones today that made me laugh out loud. First, is it just ingrained in us to sing in shower? I let him take his own shower today and was serenaded, as I cleaned the kitchen, by the sweetly made-up songs of a 4 yr old singing at the top of his watery lungs. The best part? He wasn't even aware I could hear him. He was just in his own little world.

These next two I'll just write in convo form:

Me: (exasperated) I don't KNOW, Grant. I'll think about it.
G: (super positive) But, Mama! I ALREADY thinked about it, and it's a great idea!!

(Watched previously mentioned, still sick, Baby P this morning.)
G: (grossed out, teenage voice) Mama? Baby P has the boogers.
Me: (distracted, as usual) Whatever, G. He's fine, he just has a cold.
G: (snotty AND grossed out teen voice) No. Mom. The boogers are weally big. AND he's coming by me. Please, Mom. Do something. Now.

All for now. Oh, and I've been totally neglecting my appreciation part of this blog. Tonight, as usual, my appreciation goes out to my hubby. Thursdays are the nights that he online games with other gamers and he really looks forward to his one night of release. Well, he walked in the door tonight, took one look at me and said, "I got bedtime, babe. You just lay on the couch and chill." Don't you just LOVE him???
