Ha..Yes, since I have had the baby, I add "-ies" to the end of everything... It makes things cuter. Like the nasty cold virus that has infected my poor, pitiful, baby... When you call it a "germie", it makes it so much easier to wipe that boogie (see? I did it again!) filled nose.
So, I spent the last 5 months, almost exactly to the day, disinfecting every surface and phalange that came into close proximity of my baby. Lysol, Clorox, and Germ-X are having a particularly good year due to my purchases alone. In the last few months, I have developed a new method of greeting guests: I smile, hug, invite them in, and then douse their hands with my little bottle of Germ-X, so conveniently placed close to the door. Hey, at least it is the little bottle, I hide the gallon jug, that I use to refill it with: I figure it may scare the guests away.
I have the strappy doo-hicky that attaches the Bath and Body Works antibacterial to my stroller, I have a mini bottle in the diaper bag, and several hidden in all of our cars. I have surely outsmarted the germs, right?
WRONG!!!! The germie snuck in and I am left like Dr.Claw, cackling and saying "I'll get you next time, germie, NEXT TIME!". If you don't know that Mr. Gadget reference, then you are too young to have a baby and should be in school studying for the SATs. (Just kidding, I'm a Teen Mom fan....ok, whatever)
After just commenting on a mommy forum about how well my baby sleeps, karma, disguised as a germie, reminded me how lucky I am that I have an "unusually" good lil' sleeper. From bassinet (Yes, I shove my 5 month old into a bassinet because I have not gotten to the point that I can bare to put her in her own room, but that is a whole other blog post), to our bed, to glider, to standing in front of the air conditioner vent... Nothing would get my stuffy baby to sleep for more than an hour or two. And since baby and I were awake, one of my dogs wanted to take the opportunity to beg to go to the bathroom. So, while navigating the dark stairs with baby and dog , I hear, cough cough cough---and feel a warm wetness run down my neck. Puke... Thanks, germie...
This morning, I was supposed to start a new Bible study. This germie prevented me from learning about God. This just confirms my hypothesis: GERMS ARE FROM THE DEVIL! ( the "-ies" was too cute for that statement)
Thankfully, she is feeling better this morning. I'm sure with a few more days rest, she will be back to her normal, cheery, sound sleepin' self....I hope...
Prayers for a fast recovery please!! xo
God bless you.
