Sickness, Hell, and My Happy Place

Brett has had the flu for the last five days. 103 degree fever, runny nose, cough... the works. Sad. Check out the major bags under his eyes. If that's not the saddest face you've ever seen, I don't know what is.
Yet, he still managed to give us a smile every now and then.
Yes, he's totally wearing a necklace. But he can pull it off.

And help out a bit with the housework. I'm all about child slave labor. He gets paid in milk & Teddy Grahams.
Sometimes we call him Linus, because he carries his blanket everywhere.
I love his face in this picture.

I actually dressed him today. He's been in his jammies for 5 days. Clean ones everyday, of course.
Doesn't his hair look a little bit red?

Since Brett was feeling better, we ventured out to get some groceries and toiletries, go to the bank and the post office. Because I needed groceries AND toiletries, I had to go to the seventh circle of hell... Walmart. And what an experience we had. Toothless women screaming at their kids and a woman telling her daughter to go and "kick him in the nuts." So classy.

To make up for my Walmart anxiety, I'm going to my happy place tonight. No, not Disneyland (that's Nate's happy place)... Target. With my friend Jen. No kids. And then we're going to a movie. My life is sweet, most of the time.

Hey Shar! It's been a while since I've checked out your blog BECAUSE we have also been dealing with that same flu in our house. Baby Kayla had the 103 fever for the past five days, which turned into ear infections, and she is so stuffed up that she can't nurse! It's so sad & frustrating. Ty has had some kind of weird stomach virus and was vomiting for 24 hours. It's been a real adventure at my place! Hope your little guy is feeling better now. He is SO ADORABLE!!!
