some funnies from the sickies

Chris tested positive for the flu on Thursday and Lincoln and I tested positive on Friday. Even though that is soo not funny ... some pretty funny things have happened the last few days.

Story #1 I was at school when Chris went to the doctor on Thursday. They called in his prescriptions to Walgreens. He pulled in to the drive thru and told them his name. They told him they didn't have any prescriptions there for him. Chris replied, "They said they just called it in to Walgreens." The woman said, "You are at CVS. Walgreens is across the street." BAHAHAHA Oh man...this one gave me a good laugh.

I'm going to fill you in on a few things before I tell you the next story. I've already mentioned on here before that my brother has a german shepherd named Bear. My mom refers to Bear 99.9% of the time as "crazzzzy mut!" I think she does it mostly because Lincoln thinks it's the funniest thing in the world.

Story #2 Thursday night Lincoln and I went to Kroger to pick up some stuff for sick Chris. Lincoln wore his cowboy hat to the store. (I can hardly get him to take it off) An older man who was working walked by and said to Lincoln, "Well howdy there, Cowboy Joe!" Lincoln replied at the top of his voice, "Crazzzzzy mut! My name is Lincoln!" I wanted to crawl in a hole and not come out for a long long time. Luckily the man laughed and wasn't offended. I had to have a chit chat with Lincoln about not calling people muts! Lincoln just kept saying, "Ok. But he WAS a crazy guy...my name is Lincoln!" Once Lincoln was asleep, Chris and I laughed till my sides hurt. So did my mom...Thanks a lot, Mom!

Story #3 When I took Lincoln to the Pediatrician on Friday, Lincoln told every single person he came in contact with that his Daddy was "realllly sick." Dr. Corba came in when we were about to leave the office and gave Lincoln three packets of smarties.
Lincoln counted them and said, "You gave me THREE smarties!"
Dr. Corba: Yes I did!
Lincoln: My Daddy is reaaaallly sick.
Dr. Corba: You will have to take good care of him!
Lincoln: Yea, I will take good care of him. But I can't kiss his lips cause he has worms.
Me: GERMS! His Daddy has GERMS!
Dr. Corba: Maybe you could give him one of those smarties?
Lincoln: No...I don't think I will take care of him.

Story #4 My hair has been in a pony tail for days due to the fact that I just don't care. Lincoln saw my hair in a bun and I guess he noticed it for the first time because he said, "Your hair is like a ball. That is amazzzzing."

Story #5 I was looking over my doctor's visit notes and I saw where my doctor had noted I had "allergic shiners." Being the nurse nerd that I am, I looked up the definition and saw this:

1. dark, discoloured circles under the eyes
2. darkness and swelling underneath the eyes caused by sinus congestion

Thanks doc ... I call those bags and they are there every day.
