Half full, half empty.
Two ways to look at the prevailing sickness in our house:
Half empty: My children cried 500 times today.
Half full: I soothed my children 500 times today.
I lie. It was probably only 490 times (the soothing, that is. The crying was more than 500 - but sometimes I just couldn't do anything on account of being stapled to the bed). Nonetheless, we're working on having the half-full attitude to weather this bout of disease.

:-( Zeke got whatever has been going around, too, and has been MISERABLE. For three days he woke up over six times a night, and I wondered what in the world was wrong with him. Then came the nose thing, the cough thing... "Aha." There is usually a reason.
I am so sorry it has hit you guys (I assume it's the same thing? Maybe not) and I sure hope you all get better soon. Did the mama get spared this time around? Sure hope so.
Let me know if you want to borrow any more movies... :-)
Sorry that you guys got whatever bug is going around. I caught something several weeks ago from a kid sneezing right in my face in the classroom. =) (Great way to catch anything they have there.)
Drink plenty of fluids if you can. I don't know about the kiddos, but it looks like you are being a wonderful mom.
