Never ever thought I’d say that, but three days and nights of baby vomit will have me screaming for almost anything else.
My new manager has been sinisterly understanding and evilly compassionate about the whole thing. How dare he begin all email replies with “hope the little guy gets to feeling better” and how nervy to call with baby rehydration suggestions. I would quit in anger and disgust, but he’s too awesome, and I’d like to keep working for him until my plans for independent wealth get the greenlight from God.
The original hilarity was working from home instead of taking actual time off. See: baby vomit. And also: fever and lethargy. Is there such a thing as taking personal time before having any personal time to take?
In related news, the baby won’t turn one until he feels better. Who wanted to clean up blue icing projectile vomit? Not me. So for right now, he is 11 months and 32 days old. That’ll give me extra time to find party hats. Kroger doesn’t carry them, so it’s off to Party City in a few weeks.
It’s voting time at the fringe again. Blogs are great for settling family disputes, and I highly recommend them as legal mediation technique. I snapped a few photos of Ehren on his pre-birthday, then edited them while he was sleeping on my feet (his narcolepsy has been the most amusing part of this whole thing). I like one of the edits, Q likes the other. Please choose your favorite or you can choose “none of the above” by asking me to never ever use Photoshop again.
choice 1
choice 2
Baby politics in comments…
I love so many things about your post. The baby’s age…had me ROFL. The boss being a tyrant…how awesome!
As for the pics, since you want us to choose, I vote for number 1. I love his grin and the fact that you can see his little toes. Precious pre-sick photo…Hope today is an improvement for him!

Scientists should figure out how to develop baby toes to go. We can carry a bag of warm and soft baby toes in our pockets and just kinda tickle them with our fingers throughout the day. Peace in the Middle East? Done. With baby toes to go available for everyone.
#2, though it suffers from a lack of baby toes.

We need a tiebreaking vote!
If I’ve said it once I have said it a zillion times…Get That Child On The COVER of some magazine! I can’t stand the cuteness!
.-= Tex In The City is dying for you to read I got a feeling that todays gonna be a good day =-.
You are hired, Miss Awesome Baby Talent Agent. Standard rates and fees apply.
#2 definitely.
Hub-D and I have learned to go with the original color in photos, they just seem to look cuter in the long run.

You broke the tie, and the vote went Q’s way. I always keep the originals (which is why I have 40,000 photos around here somewhere). I just like experimenting instead of cleaning the kitchen.
Sorry my vote is late. I was rooting for #1. It looks more natural.
Hope the little guy feels better soon.
I’ve been the one out of commision in our family and it bites.
Come on people. Even I know you have to go with choice #1.
Hoping and praying all is well. That and you do go with #1.
