That Was Inevitable
Feb. 28th, 2011 08:12 pmYesterday Ros was sick. Today it was me.
Fortunately, I was not as spectacularly sick as she was, just generally icky, achey, and chilled, but it was enough. Add in that we had to keep Ros home from daycare, even though she was mostly fine, bordering on giddy, and it was...interesting.
Fortunately, the Sweetie worked from home so he could spell me off when my energy flagged. Unfortunately, Ros could not be convinced to take a nap. I totally did.
And I have to say, my one stroke of genius was offering to do her nails, finger and toe. Kept her occupied for an hour, and while we were waiting for the polish to dry, she couldn't do much but sit and listen to me read.
We also watched the Oscar Red Carpet show over lunch so she could show me her favourite dress. Which turned out to be Hailee Steinfeld's. She may only be four, but the kid has pretty good taste.
