I went to bed at 6pm last night, for the 2nd night in a row. At 6:30, Aaron brought me food, which I ate, and fell back asleep. Sometime around 7 or 7:30, Aaron opened the door to my bat cave again and interrupted my slumber with,
A:"Hey, is Reese in here?"
M: (groggy) "What? no. I'm sleeping, close the door."
A:"Well, I can't find her anywhere, didn't she come in here?"
M: "Aaron. No. I'm asleep. Close the door....wait. You lost Reese?"
Aaron flipped on the lights and we found Reese right there in the bed next to me, sound asleep. I guess she'd told Aaron she was going to go "check on Mommy", and never returned. I don't even remember her coming in my room. Aaron left her in the bed with me, since she's on an antibiotic anyway, and slept on the couch. When she woke up this morning, she said, "Good morning, Mommy, I was worried about you. Are you feeling better? I'm much better, now."
She was worried about me. So sweet. My happy child is finally back! She then left for a donut run with Q and Daddy.
Because we want to teach our children that eating comfort food when you are sick is the best medicine of all.

Amen to that - comfort food is the best cure for any ailment. Feel free to use that picture for your own woe is me :)
I've been using hyland's teething tablets since the last time Evie cut some teeth. They worked wonders then, but now, nothing seems to put a dent in her screaming/crankiness.
So, the question is: am I going to Redbox or are you going to be asleep before 7??
I'll bring medicine to cure you: fresh guac and smoothies...
Ahhh...the lessons we learn from our parents about comfort foods are the ones that stick with us for life! Thank goodness :)
That is a really cute story!
Wish I could offer you a $5000 tax credit, My friend. Go ask Obama to spread some wealth your way.
awww i love her! i am sorry you are feeling so yucky!
comfort food does fix everything. they should know that!
Now I could be wrong, I hope I am, and I am a little embarrassed to write this, but is this post title lyrics from a Selena song Dreaming of You? Yikes! I have seen that movie on TBS or USA or one of those networks WAY too many times at 2 am. Ugh.
"And I wish on a star, that somewhere you are thinking of me too...."
yes, it is Selena. That movie is in our VHS collection, sadly. Not mine. Aaron's. also sadly.
10 points on that one
