Sick Day

My daughter stayed home from school today, sick. Nothing major, she puked a couple times last night, barely slept, and still felt bad this morning. Nobody else was sick, so my son went to school, my wife went to work, and I'm on days off, so I stayed home with her.

Now, I take care of sick people for a living, so why is taking care of a kid with a mild virus such an undertaking? It's not like she needed a lot of care. She spent most of the day sleeping, after all. When she was awake, she was kind of whiny, but she didn't feel good, so I expected that. I warmed up some chicken noodle soup for her lunch, but that's pretty much all the care she needed today. So WHY did I feel like I spent the day trying to keep up with her?

She's better this afternoon. No fever, no puking, and she told me she's hungry. Back to school in the morning.

And can someone tell me, has kids' TV always sucked this bad, or is that something new?
