I sick :(

Let me tell ya, nothing is worse and yet most fun when you were a kid than being sick on a school day. Yeah it sucks that you don’t feel well, but think of all the cool stuff you get to do!

I remember my favorite time being sick was when I was about 10. My dad was at work, my brother was at school (jealous that I got to stay home and he didn’t), and my mom was home taking care of the house and me.

She would prop me up on the couch in my living room with a warm blanket, my pillow from my bed and a cold large glass of orange juice on the coffee table beside me. She smiled as she tucked me in and then walked to the TV and VCR and put in a video tape. I didn’t know what she was putting in as it was a surprise. She pressed play and my favorite cartoon shows came on. Everything from Tale Spin, to Darkwing Duck, to even some Christian cartoons where these archeologists went back in time through a portal to the Bible era (Don’t knock them, they were quite good).

I say all that to say that today, I sick. :(
