Meerkat Manor

I've never watched this show, though it looks cute. So, some background info ...

Zak came home early from school yesterday with a migraine. I didn't know this until I got home from work (which was about 4:30 by the way). Anyway, the poor kid was sensitive to light and sound, dizzy, exhausted. He said "oh mom, how do you do this all the time?" So, he's running a little fever this morning and we called him in to school.

Aly has a cough that I think got worse when she found out her brother was staying home. She's at home today too. So much for me trying to get any work done at home today.

Anyway, as I'm working from the living room, Zak switched the TV to Meerkat Manor. It is a cute show ... until (((SPOILERS AHEAD))), Flower's twins Len and Squiggy are KILLED. Poor things. One is carried off by a giant bird and the other is left alone as the group moves on to find food. And now we're on to the next episode where Lola has been bitten by a snake and no one is taking care of her. Note to self: do NOT watch Meerkat Manor unless you are in the mood for a good cry.
