I'm just impressed by your vomit-less streak. Nice work!

I am glad I have her instead of her being at WAW's (I would have requested to come over and help). She has been a sweet, tender little girl since it stopped. She watched football with me for 3 hours before she finally fell asleep (she never watches TV, and neither do I when I have her). She doesn't want to go to sleep in her bed, where the vomiting started earlier, so I'm letting her sleep I the couch next to me. Throwing out the rule book tonight (several hours of TV + not sleeping in her bed)

Thats what sick days are for! Well done, dada.

[Card29]

Haha, it reminds me of when I was sick as a kid. Once the agony was over, I could always get special treatment (ice cream and stay up late on a school night to watch baseball with my mom). I wish she was old enough to remember tonight when she's older. Oh well, I have pictures and video

Sick days are memory makers. She's young but you're establishing a sense of comfort when she needs it most. Poor pumpkin pie, I hope she's back to herself soon.

When I was sick as a kid we'd set up camp in the family room and watch tv and sleep and eat until we were well. We even had a special "I'm sick blanket" that my mom made. It was the biggest blanket and so, so warm.

Anyway, snuggled next to daddy is one of the most comforting places in the word, Card. Soak it up.

I am

I remember two sick days. One of them I think was when my mom gave us all food poisoning -- all five of us had vomited all night long and we spent the next day under blankets in the family room watching Bill Cosby: Himself on HBO and laughing like crazy. The other one was when I was home sick with the flu and spent the week reading Jane Austen and the Bronte novels, and fell in love with real literature. Both amazing memories that stick with me 30+ years later.

I bet your D loved it just as much!!!

[Card29]

It was a sweet day after the horror stopped. Although it wasn't quite as cultured as that. 4 hours of football, which she calls baseball. I don't even remember what game we were watching, though. Just her laying on my chest, then sitting next to me, then laying next to me

[Card29]

Still trying to figure out this boundary thing. WAW invited me to meet her at the gym, so I'm going...?

[labug]

What boundary would that cross?

[Card29]

I just don't want her to think I want to be her buddy if she is going to date. I'm no longer sweating the conversation we had a couple of weeks ago when she said she intended to date. I guess I will just play it cool unless I find of she is dating around.

I didn't mention any of this to her today. I just kept it light and positive. She was in a rotten mood for a while. Eventually she came around. We went to the grocery together after gym, hugged, then sent our separate ways. I miss D2 already, but I am somewhat relieved to be alone now, after yesterday.
