Default What's Sadder?

a) Sick 3 year old with a 102 fever, totally lethargic, sweaty and limp only wanting to snuggle and sleep on Mama (I am doing the tylenol/motrin thing and hydrating so we're in good shape on that front)

b) A 40 year old man who "must have gotten what J has (cough, cough, pathetic sigh)" laying on the couch "unable to do a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g." (sigh) "can you get me some (cough) gatorade? (cough, cough) Pleeeeeeeeease, honey? (Cough, cough)"

c) The over tired, over worked, pinched nerve in her upper left back combined with some sort of ciatica-type thing in the right leg/hip pregnant woman who is gimping around, feeding and caring for two dogs, two sick babies (one aged 3, one aged 40) who is not able to have the @(#*ing gin martini she would LOVE after the week and two days she has just had

Good times.

In order of saddest to least sad:

C. Tired, overworked pregnant momma
A. (close second) Sick little child
B. In distant third, sick husband

Can you tell it's like that around here a lot too?

Feel better soon.

Baby, (I hate to see my DS sick), closely followed by
mom (why do we never get sick days!)


oh wait, DH isn't on the list... Maybe a grudging, "sorry 'bout that, at least you can sleep and only have to take care of yourself."

A and C are a close one and two for me. B doesn't even get to make my list.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

At least a)'s fever has come down (yay Tylenol!) and he is comfortably sleeping in his bed.
b) is sitting on the couch moaning and sighing and coughing whenever I happen to glance in his general direction. I told him that he's sleeping on the couch tonight so that I might stand a chance of *not* catching this thing they both have.
At least I know I'll have the whooooooooooooole bed to myself tonight to stretch out on!

First I was going to say thats you rolling around your bed, but then I remembered the pregnancy thing, so here's you (kinda) enjoying your bed Some times there's nothing better than a bed to yourself!
