Okay–here’s the reason I was home today with time to surf everybody’s blogs (which I really enjoyed by the way!)
The Cave Troll is SICK! That’s why he had his meltdown yesterday! (Flat of hand to forehead!) He’s had a fever since last night, and I’ve been home in the rubble, remembering why I made a shitty stay-at-home mom all those years ago. (Why bother to clean the house if we’re just going to crap it up again…)
Anyway…that didn’t stop me from going to the the grocery story and getting my purse stolen, complete with credit cards *sniff*, new i-pod *sob* and (only me) two balls of irreplacable sock yarn, one completed and one 1/4 of the way completed sock complete with three sets of short straight dpns, one set of long dpns and two circulars (in the working sock). If the i-pod hadn’t been new, I’d say the sock yarn was the biggest grief…wait–yeah, I’ve run my fingers through my stash in an amazing go of yarn-apy…it’s still the i-pod. But it was damn close.
So I’m home again tomorrow with the poor little guy… I hate it when they’re sick, but I’ve got to say, The Cave Troll is a lovely patient–when his fever breaks, he’s cheeful, cuddly but not too cuddly, and asks nicely for juice. When his fever comes back, he wants only his binkit, his movie (Open Season–glad I don’t have to watch it with him, it’s run about 600 times today) and for me to (in his words) LEAVE ME ALONE, MOM.
So I’ll be haunting everybody’s blog and hopefully he’ll be up and going bonkers tomorrow…I really do hate it when they’re sick…that fish-eyed stare from across my bed just breaks my heart.
(Louiz has a sick little-un too–chicken pox, but in the pictures, all you can see are sweet faced little girl:-)
