You know, in college if someone said they had a "bowl" it was cause for celebration. Yesterday I had a bowl and it was NOT cause for any celebration.

 

[FLBuff PE]

Came down with a cold over the weekend. Called in sick yesterday, pulling a half-day this morning before picking my parents up at the Eagle County (it is NOT the Vail) Airport. And I have lost my voice. This sux.

Yeah, I remeber the 'sick bowl' we had when my sister and I were kids. It was green tupperware.

Get better! At least they aren't stuck at DIA in the hull of a burned out plane

Mine was always metal. The one this time was metal too. My son had his own tupperware one. We were quite the pair.

Yeah, but this time, you don't have the option of saying in a sick, whiny voice, "Mooooom...I was sick," and have her come empty it, and give you saltines and ginger ale.

I couldn't even tell! You don't sound sick.

Hope you get better soon.

Thanks, Mary. I am the only one in the office right now, which means I'm answering the phone. Great marketing to have someone who lost their voice to answer the phone, huh?

Geez, you guys had "sick bowls"? My parents just made us run for the toilet. And when we didn't make it, I guess they just had to clean up.

I'll have to keep the "sick bowl" concept in mind next time my kids get sick.

 

[mudpuppy]

We had a bucket rather than a bowl, but same idea.

^ Small plastic trash can. The tradition has been passed along to my son.

 

[cement]

cripes, day one of christmas vacation and I wake up with a fever and dreams of a plastic trash can. oh well.

 

[maryannette]

Hope it comes and goes quickly.

 

[Guest]

I can't believe how ill so many people around me have been this holiday season! hmy:

I am scared - I haven't been hit with whatever is going around .. yet. It scares me that my number just hasn't been punched yet!

Hope you feel better soon cement!

I have three kids... my oldest goes to preschool a couple of mornings a week... we are all always sick now. I figured out why when I observed the preschooler's gretting ritual: Sneeze on each other, wipe runny nose on sleeves, touch bottom of shoes, hug each other, hug parent.

 

[Supe]

I'm amazed that I've been healthy down here with just a few exceptions. Everybody has been sick, and it's probably more the weather than anything. Goes from 70s to 30s seemingly day to day here. Was 72 when I left this morning and its pitch black out still.

That is the part I DON'T miss about having small children.

Well, maybe diapers, too.

 

[bigray76]

The twins are coming off of formula and switching to whole milk (thank god!), we can't wait until we don't have to buy anymore diapers!!!
