Dying Diva
When I’m sick, I moan, I whimper, I make pitiful noises, I am drama.
My wife?
You would never even know she was sick.
How about you?
When you are sick…
Are you a drama queen or a steadfast king?

RAIN IT DOWN
First, did you know pink is a great color on you?
At our house if you are REALLLLLLY sick you get “the bell” to ring when you want something. We are become your slave and nurse you back to health. When I am sick I really want to be left alone with the bell. I think my husband hates the bell. Usually he is just about a sleep or in the middle of a tv show when I ring that bell. He is smiling on the outside, but not sure about the outside. TVO has definitely saved my life!
Hope you feel better
I am the biggest baby. I whine and moan and milk it for all I can as well. Nausea is the worst!
My wife is a rockstar- she just goes and goes. Not me- I'm down for the count
First time commenter here, but my husband says you are the king of all bloggers, so I guess it's not a bad place to start
.
We're both whiners when we're sick, but HE has to be the worst
. Don't tell him I said that.
A lot of the time when I get sick, I don't realize that I'm actually sick- I get headaches and migraines a lot anyways, so when I get a fever I'll usually pass it off as another one of those, and continue on with my day. (I once did tech all weekend at my church with almost a 103 degree fever!).
But when I do realize that I'm sick, I definitely just like to be left alone. I live in my bedroom until it's over, and don't come out except to get Saltines, aspirin, or a cup of ice.
i hear ya bro… my wife keeps going with no whinning… now me… i can whine a bit…
Funny you should ask… Last night, after a long day at work, I dropped my 10 year old son (the oldest) off at the movies with my best friend's son and we took all of our girls to Chic-fil-a for a play date. After two and a half hours of chatting and her getting to know my man, who she had heard tons about but never met, we are standing in front of the theater waiting for our boys to emerge from HSM3 and chatting about… well, whatever. I randomly (apparently, at least to her) blurt out “dang my freaking ear hurts like crazy!” I proceed to jump right back into the conversation we had been having. She stops me and starts laughing hysterically about how if it had been her she would have been moaning and whining about it all night. So I guess I'm the suffer in silence sort!
I think I am the worst combination of the two options: I hate being slowed down so I continue on and do what I normally do but I totally whine and complain about it the whole time.
Definitely a drama queen…I feel ya brother. Get well soon.
I am the King and my wife is the queen. I have had to send her to her mom's house before because I needed the sleep and I didn't want to catch the flu.
I fight it most of the time. I normally ignore pain or sickness unless it totally knocks me out. Then I like to be alone and sleep it off.
I'm somewhere in between…i don't have to be waited on at all, but i get lonely! I like some company and just a little bit of care. Because I'm the mom I've rarely just gotten to be sick and take it easy…….maybe that's the difference. Us mom's just have no choice.
lovin' the pink cover and ?bunk bed? too funny
First of all, I'm a wife & mother of 3.
'Nuff said.
yeah i'm definately a diva
i am THE drama queen BUT i am also such a hypochondriac so im always complaining about the pain that is a certain terminal illness! Im a bitch to live with if the truth be told
and also, NICE BLANKET LOS!!
when I'm REALLY sick I'm steadfast…when I'm faking I pull out all the stops–Ferris Bueller style!
Typically, I “suck it up”. That is, until I get home, THEN I am a drama. I try to get all the love from my wife as I can. You know, the whimpy faces, the pitty voice.. yeah, all that jaz.
But to everyone else, I'm strong.
Can I categorically say that when it comes to being sick, women are hands down the kings and men the drama queens?
When we're sick:
Me=pitiful
My wife=superwoman
I am quite the whiner aren't I
.
I'm both. And you look great in pink.
Total Drama Queen!
king. no whining here… however, i rarely get sick so i'm blessed in that area.
haha this video reminds me of you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsvWK_EedLU (“Man Cold”)
I guess you have to say I milk it a little bit. Last April I had the flu, not just a really bad cold that people call the flu, but I had a positive test for influenza. I was not alowed to work for a week.. I spent a lot of time on the couch with Netlix and a basset hound for company.
There must be a good bit going around. You and Heather have the blahs. My Amy has it bad (losing her voice even before the blog party last night) and I am feeling a bit of congestion.
Autumn is the name of our new basset hound and she has a true dog's life. I look out the window from my spot on the recliner and I can see her lying in the sun with her head resting on a garden step. Must be nice.
I'll be the first to say I'm a big baby when I'm sick (I have to be the first to say it because if I don't my wife will get on here and say it for me). I just lay on the couch and moan and say things like “I'm dying…Ohhh…..”
Just catching up on some long overdue posts in my Google Reader. You in pink is just too much. Hope you didn't spread your sick germs to your sweetie!
You men.
I am a mom with six kids. How do you think I am?
btw, my husband is just like you…i want to bust a cap in his @$$ everytime he is sick.
Yep. I'm a baby and my wife must be made of concrete. Further, she is a great nurse when I'm sick, and I don't do such a good job of that. Hope you are feeling much better, Carlos!
I pulled some muscle(s) in my neck and shoulder yesterday morning when I was stretching in an attempt to awaken. Somehow, I managed to shower, get dressed and made up for church, do a load of dishes, clean the kitchen, tidy the living area, get 2 kids bathed and dressed for church and homeschool an entire unit (3-4 lessons). I got to church on time, did all I needed to do yesterday.
Today, I barely managed to shower and feed the kids waffles. I barely homeschooled from the couch. I feel like a great big baby today – or rather, I would like to be babied greatly today.
me—chump!
her—gangsta!
