What do you mean I haven’t been sick that long? Are you sure? And speak up, please, because both of my ears are completely plugged shut and I can’t really hear anything anymore. There’s some limited breathing available, but only in the two seconds immediately after blowing my nose, after that, I’m outta luck.
Kaitlyn is sick and MISERABLE. She doesn’t like the snacks I have to offer, she doesn’t like the fact that there are COMMERCIALS on TV interrupting her watching of the WonderPets. Every few seconds she turns her huge, sad blue eyes to me and says “Mama, I need sumpin’ else to watch”. Or, “Mama, I need sumpin’ else to eat”, or “Mama, I need more juice”, or “MommmeeeeeEEEEEE”. Her nose is running so much that it’s now bleeding slightly, and it pains me to have to wipe it because I know how much it hurts her.
Yesterday, I feel like I let down a few people who have been very kind to me because they asked me to do some very simple posting and I just didn’t do it, and I apologize for that. Any time I am online is a brief break in the coughing and nose blowing cycle, and Kaitlyn is never off my lap for more than a moment at a time. This is very hard, and while I know dealing with illness is part of being a parent, it doesn’t make it any easier when it happens.
I hate that I’m just counting the hours until my husband gets home so I can go to bed.
Hi Elizabeth! I’ve been absent for awhile, I know. I’m sorry to hear that you’re sick. I know so many people who are and usually we have something nasty during the month of February too (not yet, though, knock on wood). Really, we should just skip over February, don’t ya think?
I’ve counted those hours, too.

Kaitlyn sounds like Sam — only he’s not sick! That’s just the way he IS! Actually, he’s had a stuffy nose too….
Get better soon!

We’re sick here too. My daughter was so disappointed to be sent home sick from school during her class’s Valentine’s Day party, but she had a 103.5 degree temperature. Doctor told us it’s going around, and if she’s still sick Monday to bring her back because while it starts out viral, there’s a bacteria going around and sometimes kids switch to that one.

Hopefully you all are dealing with colds as opposed to the flu. We all have a cold, and I have to confess I cannot stand the haze cold medicine puts me in, but without it I am miserable.
