Sick again...

4 out of the 5 of us are sick ... again! Jacob so graciously started this cold epidemic right around Christmas. Then he passed it to me, then I passed it to the babies, now Jacob and I have it again! We are sharing the love around here! I just got my voice back and I woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat and voice. When I picked up Jacob from preschool on Tuesday, I think every kid there was either coughing or had a runny nose. Between church and school, we are doomed to be sick! I've never been a big fan of the flu shot, but I'm going to seriously consider it for next flu season. Overall, the kids handle being sick pretty good. Megan takes after her mommy and is not a good sick person. She gets the worst snotty nose and has a lot of trouble sleeping. When I'm sick, I want to curl up in bed and blow my nose a thousand times while watching garbage daytime TV. However, those days are over. I think that's been one of the toughest things about being a mom - having sick kids and you being sick too. I don't know how Jon does it... he seems to skip getting sick and even if he does get it, it's gone in a day or two. Lucky guy! Anyway, I'm off to wipe more runny noses!!
