1. Something that made you smile this week.
When I was sick with the stomach flu I told my Mom that she had inspired me to fill a glass with ice chips. She was sick with the same damn flu just a few days earlier and told me the ice chips were all she could keep down.
So I had Maile bring me a cup of ice (God bless older children who are helpful) and when I tried to sip a chip from my cup all of the ice landed on my face.
My Mom started laughing and I was all, “well I didn’t have the energy to sit all the way up for it!”
She was all, “No, I’m laughing because I did the exact same thing.”
Misery loves company I suppose…I’m still smiling at the thought of a stubborn cup of ice crashing into my Mom’s face. Kind of felt good actually.

Ice’ll do that sometimes…
Mama Kat says
You would think I’d have learned by now!
Emily says
Your story reminded me of something that happened to me. We ordered an ice tray from eBay. We knew the tray would be small, but it turned out to be minuscule! However, when I get nauseated the mini cubes are quite helpful! Hope you are feeling better!
Mama Kat says
Oh man, how many times have I ordered something only to find it’s not what I thought it was going to be! I’m glad your tiny ice ended up working out in the long run! Hahaha!
Jennifer says
Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Been there done that a few times with crushed ice LOL.
Mama Kat says
Feeling so much better now. That stomach bug does NOT mess around!
Morgan says
I giggled. Because it’s something I have done and will do again.
Feel better. Damn flu is dumb.
Mama Kat says
That’s the best part, the ice fell all over my face and I KNOW better than that. Because it’s happened before…but just like you I’ll still do it again you just wait!
Abby says
I can just see your mom: “wait for it…”
Hope you’re feeling better!
Mama Kat says
I’m feeling SO much better! Thank you!
Cheryl says
I cannot TELL you the number of times ice falls from my drink onto my face. My husband is quite impressed by this “talent.”
Thanks for the laugh!
