I'm a wittle baby

via
Yep...
I'm sick.
Fever, stuffy nose, coughing, aching, sneezing, sick.
When I'm not feeling my hottest, I like to be babied.
I'm not going to hide it or lie and say "I just want to be left alone and sleep."
I mean, of course I want sleep, but when my little peepers pop open I want someone to hand me my medicine and a big Icee and maybe brush my crazy hair out of my face.
Maybe that makes me spoiled, but who doesn't like a little spoiling?
When I was in high school, I would even put on a little sequin crown to make my Mom laugh when she came in to check on me. Okay, okay maybe it wasn't so much for her as it was for me.
Made me feel pretty, damnit!
There are just some things that a sparkly crown can fix...
even my pale skin, purple bagged eyes & nappy hair were beautified by it.
So, since I don't have anyone to wait on me hand and foot right now,
[admittedly, my parents did bring me an icee and skittles today]
I'm looking for some of your pick-me-ups & remedies!
Give me whatcha got for a pork chop.

& please say a prayer that I'm feeling better by the weekend! I want to enjoy Mardi Gras!
I'm already missing the big Saints parade tonight :(
& I even had tickets for the bandstands and after party b/c my brother in law works for the Saints. Boooooo illness. Go bother someone else.


...face mask covered smooches...


24 love notes:

  1. Oh no, my poor sweet thang....

    You need to get better fast!!! Go send someone to get you probiotics...and take then twice a day forever.

    One of my girlfriends is never sick and she swears by this method!

  9. Double yuck! Sorry you had to miss the Saints Parade. That is a bummer. I find that watching really crappy daytime tv helps me feel better. As well as ice cream. That really helps.
    Get well soon!

    Here's hoping we both feel better by the weekend!!

  17. I hope you feel better by the weekend, Lace! It sucks being sick when you have better things you could be doing!

    I'm just like you though; I like to be taken care of when I'm not feeling well, and no one does it like my mom. My boyfriend, unfortunately, is the exact opposite: he wants to be left alone to sleep, so he doesn't exactly get my need to be spoiled.

    When I'm sick, I like to do what my mom would do for me. Make a hot bowl of veggie soup, drink hot tea with honey, lay on the couch with cold fluids on the coffee table watching TV or movies while dozing in and out of consciousness.

    I discovered Alieve Cold & Sinus the last time I had a cold, and it worked wonders! I love that it's 12 hours, so you don't have to worry about it all day and can actually get some sleep.
