This post is brought to you by my fever.

I know I wasn’t around last week.

Let’s just say we were on a break.  And I swear to you, I didn’t write anywhere else, or even think about it.

In truth, I was in the throes of my flu induced fever.

Here are some things that may or may not have happened this past week:

*****

There was a gnome at the foot of my bed… or a dwarf… it giggled and then ran away.  It wore Curious George jammies.  I thought perhaps it could have been my son… but he doesn’t get out of bed by himself… not once… not twice… not sixty-seven times.  Pretty sure it was a gnome.  It may have even been the star of that new Gnomeo and Juliet movie.  He seemed like a Hollywood type.

I blamed the Hawaiian Tiki God at our front door for the raging fever… and took his name in vain several times.  He then tried to eat my arm off in a dream.

My son got twitchy from too much TV because I had not the strength to entertain him.

Then my son got sick.

There was vomit.

I think it’s still in my hair.

I ate a popsicle.

My son got better extraordinarily fast.  He licks a lot of things at the playground- his immune system is now at super hero levels.

My body wouldn’t stop shaking.

I lost my superhero cape.

I prayed.

My husband tried to put an ice cold rag on my forehead.

I punched him.

I think my husband got sick.

I did not take care of him.

I coughed like I was drowning in the middle of the night.

I might have gotten my haircut.

I canceled my shoot date for Mommy To Mommy TV.

I shed a tear for Kirstie Alley, because I do not understand what has happened to her.

I missed you guys.

I had a hot dream about Stephen Colbert.

    Oh no the crazies of fever! We had that crap over Christmas…and it’s awful! Isn’t it crazy to be so sick that you lose the will to care if there is puke on you. I hope all are feeling better…and the hallucinations stop!

  5. Sounds like a pretty busy week. Perhaps adults need to start licking slides and every toy on the playground so we can be tough like the kiddos…

    I don’t even know where to start with this except to say that it was wildly funny despite the fact you may have vomit in your hair.
    Sorry about the Stephen Colbert dream. Hope you can scratch the details from your brain. Maybe some kind of lobotomy can be performed.
    …but my goodness woman you are hilarious! Don’t be sick again, but when gnomes are the source of your blog fodder, bring on the fever!

  11. I love random fever thoughts…Kirstie Alley? Did I miss something? Or is it the typical crap that has been going on with her for years?
