sick

The Oscars. My favorite day/night/event of the year. I want to watch it all: the pre-pre-countdown to the red carpet countdown to the “live from the red carpet”to the main event to Bawbwa making someone cry…  Well, last year, there was no Oscar shmaltz. There was no glitz… there was no glamour… there was no gasping over her dress or his speech…  There was no honing in on every word during the best sound editing acceptance speech. There was certainly no chips, dip or champagne flowing…  Last year, my (then) 5 month old was horribly sick with the flu and my husband and I were equally sick. IT SUCKED. This year, THANK G-D, ...Read More

It seemed like any other night… I was singing to Baby-Ko as he drank his “baba.” Just as I was about to utter “Goodnight Noises Everywhere….,” Baby-Ko sat forward.

Well, it’s only Monday but I feel like there’s already a few things that are post worthy… or not. You be the judge.Let’s see….1) I got my first “Your Son is Sick” call from Day Care today. Around 4pm my cell phone rang and one of the teachers at Baby-Ko’s day care told me that he felt warm and when she took his temperature, it was about 100. I quickly grabbed my stuff, told my coworkers the situation, and ran out the door to save my son. Okay, maybe he didn’t need saving, but I felt like I needed to be there as fast as I could for him. ...Read More
