And I Still Haven't Seen Lost Yet
Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 11:13AM | Mr Lady
The best thing about having sick kids is when they're still too little to take all of their medicine and so they're up at holy-shit-o'-clock in the morning wrapped around you telling fever induced stories in their raspy voice with their sick breath.
Like last night, when 3of3 convinced me to let her just get into my bed already at 2:30 in the morning after I'd been up until 1:30 anyway writing an American Idol recap for MamaPop (eastern time is cruel and unusual punishment). I drug her into bed with me and she wrapped her little arms around my head and said, "I wuv ooo, mama" and I said, "sigh" and then she said through her little sniffly nose, "goo-ight, mama" and I said, "Indeed" and then the fever hit her brain and she started telling me about spiderman coming down to bite her and how she punched him and she kicked him and then Eggman fought him and she beat him so he snuggled her and was her friend.
The kid plays way too much Sonic the Hedgehog.
Anyway, I'm beyond tired, my kid's sick, and my recap is up. Please to enjoy.

Watching American Idol instead of Lost is like eating peat moss instead of bacon.
Once again, you got it all right and then some.
I'm going to have to second SciFi Dad on this one. I literally fought my Idol-loving sister last night for control of the remote cuz there's no way I would trade Simon Cowell for Matthew Fox.
Oops... other way around. He he...
You really should have your priorities straight. What if The Others attack? I mean The Hostiles. (that wasn't a spoiler. I haven't watched it last night too).
Hey, thanks so much for making my drink come out of my nose.
Yup, definitely the best part of having kids.
I woke up with one of those sweated to me this morning as well. The kid was all"what's wrong mama, I am cold, lets snuggle up more," and I was all "sure thing, I am soaked with your fever sweat and smell like a jockstrap, let's do it."
I hop you have a better night!
Holy Shit O'Clock - yep, I've been there too. Is it wrong I have NEVER seen Lost. I apparently may be missing something.
poor baby. god love her.
Fuzzy brain induced ramblings rock. My wife told me the other day that she woke me up from a whiskey induced zonk out to ask me what the difference between a matzo ball and meatball was (a friend was asking her on facebook). I woke up for a second and said "a matzo ball has cheese" and then passed out again. There goes all my credibility on facebook as a food expert.
Is it wrong that I knew completely who Eggman was....
That is the best. I also like when they vomit on you rather than dirty anywhere else.
That's love, that is.
Thank you Jesus for no TV at my house; I would NEVER sleep! :) Hope she gets to feeling better.
I just HAD to leave a comment here too because your recap has literally made my day.
But I am so sorry your little one is sicky. That. sucks.
:-(
Maybe if you read her your AI recap, she would feel better.... :-)
'please to enjoy' made me spurt coffee out my nose. And you know that doesn't happen often.
But it cleaned out my sinus so thankyou.
Best recap ever.
If you want her fever stories to make sense, just drink more vodka. Trust me. You'll even start interrupting her and filling in your own story ideas.
So, my little 3yr old thinks Spiderman is going to come down and bite her, too! And, she's not fever-induced! And, she's never even *seen* Spiderman cartoons or movies. Weird.
I love my DVR.. hope 3of3 is feeling better soon and you taped Lost somehow!
Oooooh. Poor thing. Funny enough her story sounds like one I get when my kids are NOT sick... heh
Kiss her for me =)
Sicky kiddo's must be in the air...sometimes I really don't mind calling in to stay home with the lil sicky pooh. I, however, can go without all the temper tantrums and mood swings. (what can I say, she is a product of me. lol) Good Luck with the lil one....and how precious she is! :)
Obviously, someone's being a little selfish with the whiskey. She never would have woken up, if she'd been passed out after an irished up hot chocolate.
and I just saw an ad on your page for.... "In the Motherhood..." gotta be freaking kidding... (Man I <3 ellipses)
thank GAWD i wasn't drinking anything while reading your recap.
i HATE having to clean crap outta my keyboard.
The only way I get any writing done, or painting, or blogging, for that matter, is by giving up television. I WAS an addict. All the CSI's and NCIS and House and Bones and The Mentalist and the list goes on and on. It was tough at first. But as my work workload begins to ease some, now, I suddenly find I have plenty of time to do all the things I want and I really don't miss all the TV stuff that much, at all.
I hope 3of3 is better - or gets better real soon. I always hated it when my boys were sick - I always kind of felt like I should apologize to them - like 'sickness' is not what they signed up for.
Good recap, Mr Lady.
Um... good Caddyshack reference in your mamapop bio.
They are just gorgeous when they're ill! Unless stuff is coming out of one of their ends. That is never good.
At least the ending of the fever induced drama ended in a GOOD way. Right? It have been much worse. Egghead could have fallen and cracked and not even spider man could have put him back together again.
That sounds like my week... just sick kids!
sick kids are my life. that is all i know. i'm not even sure what i would do with a kid who was healthy.
but we don't do idol here.
actually...
all we do are stupid cartoons and
even stupider...ufc.
culture. at it's finest. only.
boo re sick favourite 3of3. :( she has to get better before i bring zombies over. I needs some more 3of3snuggles.
in the meantime, not only did i get your husband to buy my drink tonight, i also got to hug him twice! and once was his idea. :D OH! and I got him, randomly, to talk about the bartenders' "elliptical". Not sure if it was the innuendo i thought it might have been or not. ;)
whatever - zombies. Your house. Wine. Soon. <3
I hope she feels better soon!
