Rhymes with gonorrhea


This girl is still sick.


But sicker.


Like, raging temperatures, inconsolable, no sleeping, screaming, no-good-horrible sick.


And I'm not in the best spirits either since I got less than 3 hours of sleep, feel totally helpless to fix my beloved cherub ... and because the only activity that will soothe a screeching Dubbie is to watch inordinate amounts of Teletubbies. Which can't be good for her or me. (Or Mr. Dub who is enraged by the Tubbies' sheer nonsensicality.)


So there will be no more blogging until my Miss is back to bliss.


In the meantime, read this beautiful bit about babies and TV.


I totally agree ... you know, when this girl isn't so sick.





p.s. I honestly tried to come up with a more appropiate rhyming word, but I couldn't. And I'm too tired to worry if you're offended.

I don't care what it rhymes with . . . I just want my babybaby girl better and my baby girl rested. She will not, I repeat, NOT, self combust from too much teletubbies. It's like any bad dream and will soon be forgotten.

Oh yeah. . . and . . . when did she learn to read?

just wanted to send well wishes your way. Hope Miss Dub recovers quickly, sick babies are just the no-good-very-sad-no-fun pits!

Oh, and may the Teletubby Endurance force be with you...

at least you didn't ask for our stories for this one. cuz that would be going a bit far. :)

happy wishes for a healthy and non-contagious recovery!

when needing a rhyme, std's are the first things to come to my mind too.

boo! poor miss dub (and mrs. dub)!

Teletubbies enrages Other Half as well. Is it bad that they don’t bug me? They’re just Teletubbies! They just want their Tubby-Custard! Eh-oh!

so so sad. poor everyone in your household. maybe you could dress mr. dub up in all yellow and he could dance around making baby noises... that's always an alternative for him to consider!

mommie said...

and if that works I absolutely insist on some video for the family blog . . .

maybe it's rotavirus. charlie had the diarrea and throw up for ten days, which i guess is a normal amount of time for the dumb virus. i know that they have vaccines for it now.

yucky for miss dub and even yuckier for you! good luck.

So, I know this sounds cynical and lame because I haven't ever commented on your blog yet (which I read all the time and love), but teletubbies actually slows language development. So maybe babygirl won't self combust, but she might not start talking as fast as she would have. She's a cutie.

Poor poor thing! And Miss Dub too! Having a sick kid is no fun! I was going to say the same thing as Josie. Brooklyn got the rotovirus back when she was 15 months and I was house bound with her for what seemed like forever. I hope she gets over it fast!
