three down... one to go...

as i sit here today wondering what to write, i cannot remove this scene from my mind. therefore, i must share it. it is so fitting. after recently abc.com'ing my way through the drama titled "Brothers & Sisters" i find the real hilarity in its accurate portrayal of my own life, here and now. let me roughly paraphrase the conversation for you, and i mean roughly...

*ring, ring*

" mom, wasn't there something you did to help me through the flu when i was like 5 or something? you know, rubbing my back, helping me out. didn't it make me sleep better? the kids are both sick and i've caught what they had and i just can't get them to settle down. all i wanna do is sleep.."

"yes, kitty. you were 5, but what you neglect to remember is that while you were sick so was your brother. and your sister, and another brother.. yada yada yada. and i was nursing my own flu at the same time. sometimes in life you just have to suck it up, Kitty. SUCK IT UP! buh-bye now."
