Fever all through the night

Poor wee chook is sick. Fevers and a barking seal cough. Does anything tug at the heartstrings more than your sick offspring? He has the rosy cheeks that come with fever and the bleary watery eyes. Every time I ask him how he is (why do I do this? Isn't it obvious?) he says "good". Despite the fact he has not moved off the lounge for two days, except to go to bed.

Hubs is home today. Taking a day off due to having had no sleep for a couple of nights. Hacking seals are not soporific. This allowed me to go and search for dinosaur DVDs for the patient. There simply are not enough dinosaur documentaries around. I got the giggles though, embarrassing when one is alone, when I realise that I bypass the children's section altogether and head directly for the section next to the porn, labelled "Special Interest". Aint that the truth!!

And yes, I know about "The Land Before Time" and Diego's and Dora's efforts at including dinosaurs in the scream-fests they call episodes. Louis almost had conniptions over their incorrect naming of prehistoric beasts. When the dinosaurs started talking he simply removed himself from the room in disgust.

Luckily, I found a documentary that he has not seen. Thank you Discovery Channel.

I am off to mop a fevered brow. Bye
