Mad Men, sick baby = busy woman
NS August 27th, 2009
The sore throat that TNC woke up with the other night was mild and short-lived but it was enough to pass onto her brother. The Noble Baby now has quite a bad case of tonsilitis and has been absolutely miserable for the past two days. His temperature spiked up to 39.7C (103.4F) yesterday, truly alarming me and causing us to rush to the doctor and TNH to leave work and come home. He’s just had his first dose of antibiotics and is sleeping for the time being but I know I’m in for another night of soothing and cuddling and tending to my poorly little boy.
TNH is going out of town on Saturday so let’s hope the baby has improved by then. At least TNC will be gone for the day as well, with her grandparents. If TNB is still miserable, I can sit with him slumped on my chest and watch season two of Mad Men, which has been a favourite pasttime as of late. I’m supposed to be watching them with TNH but I can’t help myself and keep watching them when he’s working late or out.
Between my new Mad Men obsession and sick children and an out-of-town husband, I have a feeling posting may be light over the long weekend. If I don’t get slightly tipsy one night and decide to drunk-blog, I will catch y’all next week.

Good luck with your weekend. Through the mists of time I vaguely recall similar weekends with Boy #1 watching series 1 (and 2, and 3…) of 24. Happy times…
Drunk blogging?! Never!
I hope TNB is better soon. Poor little guy. It’s always so hard to see your little ones sick. Just keep a close eye on him and push the fluids any way you can get him to take them. Don’t even think about blogging until he’s better and you are rested. We will all be here waiting for you.
Hope TNB is better – there’s an award for you over at mine !
Oh, poor baby. The first illness is always traumatic for everyone.
Mad Men is my newest obsession as well, which you can probably tell from my blog header. I finished season 2 on DVD just in time for the season 3 premiere. I hope you do drunk-blog about it!
I love Mad Men! But I find it disturbing because I can totally relate (and even sympathize) sometimes with Draper. But then he does something completely dickish and horrifying and I feel like an asshole. But that’s what makes good TV – the ability to get the audience to sympathize with a reprehensible character – The Sopranos, The Wire. Bob the Builder
Enjoy.
“..If TNB is still miserable, I can sit with him slumped on my chest..” – yep, one of the joys of breastfeeding, sticking a poorly baby on the breast and zoning out. Don’t times like that make you grateful for boob power? Hope things improve over the weekend.
