why nurses are banned from migraines

I still smile about the events that transpired last night. :)

Monster Migraine attacked mommy, so I asked Daddy to play nurse and give NBear her 2nd round of meds and supplements.......oh boy.

Don't get me wrong - he's great at measuring the perfect amounts and finding creative ways to get the kids to take them (like adding activated charcoal to applesauce and calling it "Black applesauce", which NBear loved!)...but, like I said, oh boy. HAHA!

Event #1:

M: *head covered by blanket, fetal position, trying to fight off the pulsating pain in my head* So, you gave her all her meds already, right?

D: *getting comfy on the bed, Jenny McCarthy book in hand, preparing to cover himself in the oh-so-soft comforter* Yes, I did.

M: Did you have a hard time finding the Nu-Thera in the medicine cabinet?

D: *insert pregnant pause here* Oh....shoot....I forgot that. I was just looking at the stuff in the little basket! [I bought a small wicker basket from Michael's for her stuff, but the Nu-Thera needed to be stored "in a cool, dry place", and I didn't feel like a spot near the rice cooker would be appropriate]

M: ...and the diflucan? [also in the medicine cabinet]

D: (no response, but hurries out of his comfy spot - tosses Jenny's book back on the nightstand, runs downstairs, and emerges through the door with water and the Nu-Thera...still in caplet form [I mix the contents in the strawberry-flavored cod liver oil for sanity's sake].
* I can hear him trying to convince her to swallow the caplet to no avail. :) When I woke in the morning, I find - on the bathroom counter - evidence that he succumbed to the inevitable: a small porcelain bowl, and a medicine dropper. :)

Event #2

(background info: NBear's glutathione ointment requires us to put on latex gloves as we apply it on her skin. K had read online that it may also be used for helping out with gout, something he unfortunately suffers from)

Him: You know, I tried putting NBear's glutathione on - without any gloves - yesterday!

Me: You DID?

Him: Yeah, ' cause you know how I read that it can help gout...so I figured, what the heck, right?

Me: Uh - huh? [At this point I'm thinking - Why does HE get to have all the mini-adventures?]

Him: Man, when I put it on her back, my FINGERS STARTED TO GET NUMB! *reenacting (sp?) the event by holding his fingers up to his face*

Me: WHAT? What did you do????

Him: *laughing* I just decided to wash it off! (and something to the effect of "I started freaking out"...but I refuse to use inappropriate language on this blog)

Men.

'nuff said.

I love the way he cracks me up without planning on it.
