Mommy Wants Vodka

…Or A Mail-Order Bride

By The Time You Read This…

January21

…I may be dead.

Second Death Flu in two weeks is in full swing and I fear that my immune system is shutting down and will soon wink out completely. Then I will actually die from something in the cat boxes (toxoplasmosis), and it will be a horrible, shameful, and undignified death.

I’d sleep if I could, but since the baby was up oh, about every twenty minutes last night (sometimes I exaggerate for comedic purposes. This is not one of those blessed times), I fear that it is not worth the trouble of lugging my sick self up the stairs.

If you can read this, send Theraflu. Or a gun. You know, so I can put myself out of my misery like a broken racehorse.

    you poor thing. I’m sending virtual theraflu and a fifth of Jack..to ward off the evil flu virus.

    So sorry. I am finally feeling better from the flu that had been eating away at my will to live. I cannot fathom having to do sickness with a baby. I am sending you some good vibes.

    I’m sending you long nap vibes for the baby and well occupied vibes for everyone else.

    What the hell have you been doing, licking the carts in the grocery store or something? Stop it, fercrissakes.

    Feel better. That’s not a suggestion.

    I have only started reading you recently, so please don’t die.

    When I was on maternity leave it seemed that every one of my sinus infections coincided with grumpy/teething baby times. It was more than enough to drive me back to work.

    Take Nyquil. I fucking love that shit.

    I’m with MsPrufrock on the nyquil. And call if you need a babysitter so you can get some sleep.

    Come to think of it, Nyquil is maybe a bit more cold-friendly than flu-friendly. I take Nyquil for all manner of ailments, so I have no idea of its actual purpose.

    I feel so bad for you. I’ve been battling some nasty cold/sore throat thing for the past week. I got the doctor to prescribe some cough medicine with codeine and it is like heaven in a bottle. I hope you are feeling better soon, the flu sucks!

    Opium?

    I feel your pain. On the being sick and the sleepless child. If misery loves company (and I do believe it do) then I would be the best company ever right now.

    not joking here- alka seltzer cold & flu will rock your effing world.

    Do not attempt to dissolve in vodka, blinged out or otherwise.

    Oh, don’t die. It would really depress me.

    Maybe I could send a gun that shoots TheraFlu. I am a Theraflu fan. It gets you good and high!

    Well, I suppose you’ll be sending it back to me then…no! please don’t because I’m only now recovering from the first round.

    Find a hole, crawl in it and hide (but don’t forget that laptop ’cause we all need our Becky-fix!).

    Hope you feel better soon.

    I’m with Ms. Prufrock on the dying (don’t please) and the Nyquil.

    Theraflu. Gun. Theraflu. Gun. Tough call. I think Emily’s right, go with opium. The smoke will quiet the munchkin.

    You poor poor thing. What in the world is going on up there? Is there a typhoid Mary in your midst? She’s lurking at the school isn’t she…watch…your..back… 🙂
