That is probably what Jer and I collectively look like. We're both sick. Head congestion so bad we're certain our brain matter will soon coat the walls when our melons finally explode under the pressure. Our throats are swollen, bright red and burning. Snot that can some how both dribbling down our face and still clog our noses. We can't breathe through it yet the shit won't blow out. And Jeremy's complaining about nausea- which earned him the right to sleep in the guest bed last night because I'm not catching that crap.
Over all, the two of us are death warmed over.
Please send vitamin C.
Kyra, on the other hand, is on the mend, I think. She's still hacking away, but not at hard. Her nose is till producing green slime, yummy, but she can breathe. She's still not all that excited about eating, but she is drinking tons. The sure sign she's feeling better is that she is bouncing from one fucking wall to the other.
Jer and I can barely pick our heads up off the couch.
Today we've agreed to be terrible parents. We're turning the television on, popping in all the Disney cartoons with various animals we can find on hand, and doing our best to keep Kyra subdued so maybe we can rest and get better. There's no playing today. Just wining, and lots of it, from all three of us.
You'd think we were all 2 years old and in need of some TLC.
A sure sign our sickness? Kyra has been walking around the house in no more then panties since 7:20 this morning and Jeremy isn't throwing fits to "put some clothes on her!"
For the love of all things holy, overnight us several cases of Simply Orange brand orange juice, will ya?
You are not terrible parents just because you put her in front of the tv and tell her to entertain herself. How much tv does she usually get? This is the exception, not the rule.
ReplyDeleteA few remedies that were passed on to me when I was so sick a few months ago:
1. saline rinse (ow, but it works)
2. stand over a pot of boiling water with a towel over your head(loosens flem and snot, take the pot off the stove first)
3. put a hot pancake on your chest (also loosens flem, seriously)
4. green tea + honeybush tea + orange juice + lemon juice + honey = all in a big mug (practically works miracles)
Hope you feel better soon.
hope you guys feel better..
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at the previous comment about the pot on the stove....it is funny that we have to remind people to take the pot of the stove because when you sick like you guys, you tend to forget the simplest things....why do i know this because I forgot to take the pot of the stove once, not good. i also lie the hot pancake one.....you feel better and you have something to eat!
i'm volunteering to bring you chicken noodle soup and take Kyra for a while tomorrow (saturday) if you want. it would give you two a break to recoup and Rachel has been whining that she wants to see Kyra. let me know if this sounds good to you. hope the sickness passes quickly!
