Owen has now thrown up again. I knew he was sick today when I ran errands with Lily and the boys. He was pale and wan and quiet and not hungry and a very, very good boy who neither complained much nor demanded much.
And Lily's just called to say he's thrown up.
I think back on Gibson's last week. The fever, the fussiness. The diarrhea. I thought it was molars. It sure might have been whatever Owen has now.
Really?
Really.
Okay. Well. That's just the way it is. The boy is sick, there is another illness going around.
I feel like we've been trapped in some sort of evil curse. Owen was never sick once in the first two years of his life. Boy, those days are gone forever.
Look. I know that there's a whole lot going on in the world beyond me and my immediate family. I just can't seem to pull myself out of the hole far enough to observe and talk about them. I apologize for being a completely self-absorbed blogger. I'll try to do better.
Someday. Soon. Really.
When we've all quit puking and throwing our hips out of joint and our mothers quit dying. Etc.
I promise.
Love...Ms. Moon
Well shit.
ReplyDeleteWTF! I do have to say that even pale, Owen is a very beautiful boy. And Gibson is just a little bunch of love. I do hope whatever Owen has goes away quickly and that you and Mr Moon and Lily and Jason and Gibson do not catch it. oh and you can be as self-absorbed as you want on your own blog too. S. Jo
ReplyDeleteAwe, poor guy.
ReplyDeleteAm I evil for thinking that last sentence was darkly hilarious on some level?? I do hope all of you are feeling better soon. And I think it's a good sign that your humor is creeping back into the picture.
Sending only the good stuff.

Poor little dude. Tell his there are hugs coming from Canada.
ReplyDeleteThat so sucks. :-( Poor baby.
ReplyDeleteYou promise, do you?
ReplyDeleteWell, I promise that things will get better (I ain't sayin' when>>>>)
Mostly, I am commenting here to thank you for your awesome comment on my blog today. I do not know what I did to deserve it, but thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I love you, Mary Moon.
As my brother says, "DAYUMM!"
ReplyDeleteIt just means that next year NONE of you will get what's going around. Honestly.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's self-absorbed for you to blog about your life. It's your blog, after all! Hopefully this illness, unlike the last one, won't strike all of you. (Fingers crossed)
ReplyDeleteHope that Owen feels better. It has been a month that I am glad to be done with.
ReplyDeleteMel- Literally.
ReplyDeleteS. Jo- He is beautiful, isn't he? Well, we'll get sick or we won't. We'll just have to see.
Ms. Fleur- Ha! Yeah. I was hoping it would turn out funny.
Birdie- Thanks.
Nicol- I believe he is tired of puking.
Lo- I almost fell out of my seat when I heard you say, "That's enough of THAT!" It was just how I thought you'd sound. Perfect.
Gradydoctor- Yep. DAYUMM!!!!
Elizabeth- Do you promise?
Steve- I hate to say it but I hope we don't get it either. Really? I just can't deal with any more pain right now. Forget puking.
Syd- Amen, brother man.
My daughter and her babies have the flu too, so she's had a week of barfing and pooping in every direction.
