The Sickies Have Taken Refugee In My House

We are all feeling a little under the weather. It started for me on Saturday night with a scratchy throat. The next day it was body aches and a nice, hearty cough followed by chills. Let's not even talk about the horrific sneezing. Umm...hello, it brings the kids running from whatever room they are in to say, "are you OK?"

Now, the Goddess is complaining and sneezing. She says her head hurts and has been a little quieter today. Even her gymnastic teacher came over concerned asking, "is she OK?"

I called the pediatrician to ask if I could give her St. Joseph's but was told only Tylenol. Crazy! My parents gave my sisters and I St. Joseph's for everything.

Hopefully my husband can hold off the cold but I doubt it considering that I have been holding onto mine like luggage, it is not going anywhere and the boy is now complaining too.

It would help if the weather would work with us. Most mornings we have hats, mittens, scarfs, boots and winter coats and the next we are just wearing a light jacket. Today started out warm but the cold is coming. We are suppose to get 1 to 1 1/2 inch of ice over night.

So just a reminder: Drink your OJ, get a good night sleep, have chicken soup and Tylenol on hand and make sure you dress those little ones warm with Pink and Blue. Like my mother always said, "if your head is warm and dry, you WILL BE warm and dry."
