Calgon take me away!

danieliza1127 · July 2009

My husband is sick. Which means he's dying, he's grumpy, he's cute, he's needy, he's a big freakin BABY! I tell you what, I have bad allergies and get sick or sinus infections and he's all "you're fine, it's just your allergies you're not even sick" but HE gets sick and it's "take care of me, make me a hot dog, I'm dying, do everything for me, wah wah wah". Men.To top it all off, we're supposed to go to Memphis this weekend to visit friends traveling up from Florida. We'll all be SO disappointed if we have to back out. I'm hoping he's better by then. We still have two days and two nights to get him well.

scoetto · July 2009

Haha! J is the exact same way when he gets sick! I hope you guys get to go to Memphis. Eat some bbq for me while you're there, mmmkay?

I could do with a big bubble bath and several bottles of wine at this point. Yesterday's break with the younger sister was just the beginning. I got another email from my older sister who now, suddenly, decides she can't afford the bridesmaid dress that... get this... she chose. In January. W.T.F.I can't decide whether to kill them all or hide until October or... run away and get married without anyone. FML.

::Crossing my fingers for a speedy recovery:: I am very lucky - DH NEVER gets sick. He had perfect attendance from kindergarten to graduation. BUT if he feels like he is going to get sick he immediately blames me for "bringing home germs from my students". My dad is THE worst though.

scoetto · July 2009

Sorry for the threadjack, Dani. Amoro, at this point I'd elope. Niagra Falls is nice. Tell the family to meet you there if they want to go. The end.

danieliza1127 · July 2009

Amoro - what's up with your crazy sisters?! That sucks.

ac_in_dc · July 2009

Can you go to Memphis without DH if it comes to that? Most men I know have been like your DH, my FI is different. I'm not sure if it's the military training or what, but he never admits to being sick, even when he is. It's kind of like a dog...they don't admit when they're in pain because showing weakness may affect your position in the pack.

AmoroAgain · July 2009

Yea, I'm sorry for threadjacking Dani. I didnt' think about it.I just sent an email to FI saying I'm over everything, and a nice vacation in a tropical locale where we can get married, just us, is sounding better and better. I'll wear my dress, he can wear his suit... end of story. I'm so f-ing over this.My sisters are incapable of not causing drama over anything, at any time, ever.

danieliza1127 · July 2009

No I wouldn't go without him. It's not like we have plane tickets, we were just planning to drive down. The friends we're meeting are a couple. I would feel weird going without him and I know he wouldn't want me to.

scoetto · July 2009

Will Mr. Wong's family be ok with this Amoro? If so, I say go for it!

danieliza1127 · July 2009

Well Amoro, you guys are already in one of the most beautiful places - Italy. Why not do it there? Would you lose a lot of money if you cancel your current plans and just elope? That sucks about your sisters. I have all brothers so the drama is pretty low, mostly caused by their wives, not them.

AmoroAgain · July 2009

His family won't even be there at this point. His sister will be 9 months pregnant, and his parents are in bad health, and may not be able to fly from Phoenix to Michigan. We looked into getting married here, and it's actually really hard. Not to mention if we were to get divorced, it's a giant PITA. I'd rather just have a lovely vacation, get married, have our honeymoon in the USVI or something.

scoetto · July 2009

So then.... DOOOOO EEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(long punctuation seemed necessary)Amoro, you have just under 3 mos. I think that would be plenty of time to do it stateside and go on a vacation. Where were you guys for your honeymoon initially?

salt78 · July 2009

Oh god FI is the same way when he is sick. Get him some Zicam. It always works for me! I am so damn exhausted today. Last night kitten spiked a fever of 105 and we rushed him to pet ER in the middle of the night. They think he's been carrying a virus since we got him from the rescue, which could explain the fact that Oskar has laryngitis. I had a panic attack and had to take a damn Xanax so today I feel completely knocked out. Luckily kitten seems to be ok. They just gave him some fluids and started him on an antibiotic. By the time we got him home he was bouncing off the walls like his old self.

danieliza1127 · July 2009

I thought there was just a big thing on the news about Zicam and how you're not supposed to take it?:checking Google:Yeah, the FDA said people should stop using it because there have been reports that users lose their sense of smell, sometimes even after the first use.

salt78 · July 2009

I thought that was with the spray, but not the swabs.

salt78 · July 2009

Nope it's with the swabs too. Gee I'm glad I haven't used it recently!

danieliza1127 · July 2009

It's all 3:[url]http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm166931.htm[/url]So be careful!Amoro, depending on what your FI says, I say elope.

AmoroAgain · July 2009

We weren't going on a honeymoon because, well, we live in Italy. lolI want to just elope so bad. So.bad.

scoetto · July 2009

So what does FI want? Is he ok with eloping?

AlexiaANDRobert · July 2009

I had the swine flu and basically locked myself in my room and went back to work when the doc said it was okay. Granted, it took me 4 weeks to fully recover, but whatever. FI got a cold. A regular normal every day cold, and HOLY CRAP, I thought he was an infant that needed hourly diaper changes. It's unfrigginbelievable. As for Zicam, isn't that also in pill form that you're supposed to suck/chew??? My mom swears by something, but you it's def. not a swab or spray...

salt78 · July 2009

You had swine flu!? *high five*

TheSaltyPeanut · July 2009

"Make me a hotdog" LOL

TheSaltyPeanut · July 2009

*hot dog*

AlexiaANDRobert · July 2009

Fo sho - and I lived to tell about it. BTW - It really has nothing to do with pigs. No clue where the 'swine' part came from. Aaaaand - it really doesn't feel any different from the regular flu. I had A LOT of chest congestion and was coughing so bad that my chest actually hurt (like I got punched hurt). Worst sore throat EVER. It was really lame and inconvenient (same time as family vacation). Anyway, I had swine flu and survived. Yay me.

wadingmoose · July 2009

Fi is the opposite when he's sick. He takes pride in the fact that nothing bothers him. He's like superman *eyeroll*. I firmly believe it'll catch up to him sooner or later.Amoro, skip Niagara. Really. Sorry, I love my friend, her wedding was great, but Niagara would not be my first choice for emergency eloping. Vegas, baby.

danieliza1127 · July 2009

"Make me a hotdog" LOLHaha, yeah I thought maybe comfort food would help last night so I offered him Totino's pizza, hot dog, or mac and cheese for dinner. He wanted the hot dog as an appetizer and then we had Totino's pizzas for dinner. I swear he reverts to a 10 year old when he's sick. It's crazy because he's usually a tough guy.

scoetto · July 2009

Moose, I was teasing about Niagra.

danieliza1127 · July 2009

BTW - It really has nothing to do with pigs. No clue where the 'swine' part came from.That made me chuckle on several levels. Swine flu is real in pigs, and originally they thought this US outbreak originated from some pig farm in Mexico, but then testing showed it actually isn't traditional swine flu so they started calling it H1N1 instead.

AlexiaANDRobert · July 2009

Dani - thanks. I guess I was too busy coughing and eating bacon to actually look it up

H1N1 = Lame. The flu is the flu is the flu. I don't care which form you have, it sucks. I'm just glad FI isn't the one that will carry babies for 9 months or push them out. If he can't handle the common cold, I'd hate to see him in the delivery room. My Mom laughs cause my Dad is the same way.

tidetravel · July 2009

OH no salt! Hope kitty feels better. Did they say what they think it is, or did they just start him on meds?

Calgon take me away!
