Well, it seems as though this South Texas winter wants to screw with our heads, not with weather but with pollen and viruses. For the past two weeks, I’ve had sick kids get better, only to fall sick again when someone at school brings something new to share. Today I have Little One at home, laying on the couch watching cartoon after cartoon after cartoon. At first it was Spongebob, then Ponies, then Looney Tunes, now Zim.
My brain is mushy.
Oh, thank goodness! She just turned it to Phineas and Ferb.
Anyway, having a sick kid usually means catering to their every need. Unfortunately, my Little One refuses to take any medications. BUT, she wants me to cure her ills. So for her I rely on providing liquids, heating pad, and ice pack for her headache. And chocolate. That seems to restore her happy mood.
If only I had thought of that. An apple a day has NOTHING on chocolate pills 😉

I am eating an apple and peanut M&Ms

That’s a food group. Or should be 😀

I’m sorry the kids have been sick again and again. 😦 And aren’t Cartoons sort of sucky these days? I do like Phineas and Ferb but probably not over and over and over again. haha

Yeah, cartoon aren’t like they used to be! And the sick cycle seems to never end 😉

Nonsense. She shows excellent taste with Zim. 🙂
Chocolate for illness. Maybe why I’ve been lucky enough to not get stay in bed sick yet this season or last… My system maintains a healthy level of chocolate. 🙂

Zim’s fine, but PONIES??? Ugh…

I saw this at Cracker Barrel, and Mini-me almost talked me into getting it.
February 26th, 2013 at 7:16 PM
Wait, you didn’t get it?? INCONCEIVABLE!!! 😀

Hm…good call then 🙂

In spite of its “urban legend” or “folklore” status, I have found that “an apple a day” indeed does keep the doctor away. Once said apple is applied to aforementioned doctor with sufficient force and velocity, that is. Grapes are good as well, especially for groups of medical-types. Grapes MIRV. Frozen grapes MIRV well.

I still miss the Animaniacs. That’s a cartoon I could watch repeatedly without getting tired…
Hope your little one is well soon. Although, if it was me and my mom was feeding me chocolates…I might have to stay sick a little while longer…

I think that was the plan 😀
