Finding A Happy Place
I've been waiting for this to happen. I thought we might dodge the sickness bullet for a few more weeks - but no. No, apparently our time is now.
I've got all three kids home sick from school, and I've got that horrible congested feeling - the one where it feels like my nose is going to blow entirely off my face? Yeah.
I was fine yesterday afternoon. By 7 o'clock yesterday night, I was frantically swilling Airborne and willing myself to stay healthy. My body didn't listen, though. Not surprising, considering no one around here listens to me. Big bunch of rebels. Pissing me off. Shoot.
I'm going to curl up with my kids and be a waste of space for the day. Hopefully we'll be back to normal tomorrow.

Tis the season to be sick! Last night my little one kept waking up and telling me that one side of her nose is stuffed.... she kept screaming "my nose fell off, my nose fell off"..... yikes!
This is going to be a LONG school year.

Sorry your not feeling well! I hate that feeling...and I hate it when all 3 kiddos get 'sick' at the same time. So far, so good, around here!!! But, it's just a matter of time; usually gets us around November/December - just in time for birthdays and Christmas! Wahoo :)

School just started and the kids got sick already? Send their teachers some Clorox Wipes or something because that is not fair!
Hope you're all feeling better soon. I'll send positive healthy vibes your way.

Aw, crap. It sucks when Mom gets sick. (Usually because when I'm referring to Mom I mean me.) I hope you recover quickly...and the kiddos too.
We have to have you out there increasing morale with the firefighters...

Sorry you and your kids caught the crud. I guess that is the price we pay for sending them to school. I wish you kids that are just sick enough to lay on the couch and let you be sick. Because we all know that mommy is not allowed any sick days!

Sorry. My kids started school last Friday and the next day I woke up with a cold. I had so much planned this first full week of school. I didn't feel like doing a lot. Take care of yourself.

Grapefruit seed extract, Zinc, Echinacea, & Goldenseal. -The GSE, echinacea, and goldenseal in pills, they taste horrid.- My kids love the GSE in some of that super-sour spray candy (we call it cold candy) Seriously, it all works wonders, especially combined with the Airborne.
Get better soon!
