Brain Mush

Molly is home sick today. She has a nasty cough and a fever, which comes down slightly with Motrin but is hanging in there to fight off the buggies. She doesn't have much energy and is declining all offers of food, including ice cream. So here's my question: how bad a parent am I that it is nearly 4 pm and I have let her watch continuous movies since 7 am?? There was an hour when she took a nap (TV still on) and an hour when I tried to engage her in some art projects (usually a sure winner). But she keeps asking to "just watch TV." Have I ruined her imaginative mind, or is this just a break from "good parenting" that i must let slip due to illness...
