Ever have those moments where you think, "Dang, my kid really gets it." And most of the time, she does. I've been sick all week and she's been very forgiving. We haven't gotten to do much of anything, except sleep, watch TV and eat.
Anyway, I felt that she and I really had a connection so, a few minutes ago, I lamented, "Oh, Amelie, I hate being so sick. I feel just awful!" She looked at me, stopped for a second, and then yelled, "I have to go POO POO!" and ran out of the room.
Brilliant.
Now she's painting Strawberry Shortcake, which looks quite good, I might add. She and I just put a load of laundry to wash, paid rent, and are baking up a frozen pizza. Yeah, yeah, I know I said I wouldn't buy those, but, they were on sale at Albertson's and I just couldn't pass up an easy meal. Especially, feeling so sick right now.
I'm not really sure what I have exactly. It might be the flu? I cough stuff up all day, my skin hurts to the touch, and my head is POUNDING. I have to take Advil every four hours or it's just terrible. Fortunately, if I take the medicine, I feel good enough to do some cleaning around the house, etc.
The other day, Amelie and I left the house, to go get power bars for Tom's breakfast at Trader Joe's. It was the first time we'd been out in a while, and it just happened to be cold and windy as all get out. But, after we did that errand, I felt so bad for her, that we went to the park and I let her swing for half an hour. The kid looked like she was in heaven. And, even though the wind picked up and I was feeling sicker, we stayed so she could have that damned swing ride. I paid for it the next day. But, whatever.
*Insert pity party here*
It's Thursday! And my hubby is coming home! And all my favorite shows come on tonight! Woohoo! I can't wait to see the premiere of the new show, "Awake." That looks like it's going to be a winner.
