Where's Steve?

DD#3 is sick with fever. Yesterday was my day to get some errands done. I had just arrived at Marshalls and was intrigued with all of the holiday gift packs available at very low prices. Good smelling things like peppermint soap with matching lotion for the bathroom. Who wouldn't want that as a gift??? I know I would heart it. Anyway, just as I was fully immersed in the possible Christmas shopping frenzy I was about to engage, my cell phone rang with it's familiar "Just a Girl" ring. Annoyed, I pulled it from my pocket and saw that it was the school.
That's never a good thing.
It seems that DD#3 came to the office shivering with fever, looking pale and not herself.
I sighed and told the office person I would be right there. I looked longingly at the scented drawer liners and linen spray and walked out of the store to pick up my sick child.
And sick she is. 101 degree fever, even with Tylenol and Advil. Poor thing.

So today, here we sit in my bed; me with my laptop and she with her dry erase board and the television. It's been awhile since I sat and watched the Disney Channel and Nikolodeon in the day time, I decided that there are some very strange shows on these days. There is a new "Baby Einsteins" on which seems to focus on music, but in a very weird way. Dora has a new friend named Diego, and what is with that show "Higgleytown Heros?" WHERE are their bodies? Are they like weebles? They store things inside themselves; I just don't think it's right to portray people without their proper anatomy.
And Blue's Clues. It came on today and we were watching. DD#3 said, "oh they changed the beginning, and when is Steve coming back?"

When IS Steve coming back. Where IS Steve?
Anyone who has watched Blues Clues knows that Steve left the show several years ago to "go to college . . ." Well, what kind of college program is Steve doing? Kids are waiting for him to come back to Blue with his damn degree, get a job and move them the hell out of that freaky house with the talking alarm clock and the procreating salt and pepper shaker, (how many kids do they HAVE now?)
As much as Steve likes clues, he should think about getting a job on CSI, or perhaps Law and Order. They could do a special cross-over event, Blues Clues meets the detectives of CSI in Las Vegas.
Whatever he decides, he should get back to the nice blue dog that he left with his weird brother. Children of the world are wondering.
