Welcome Back to School - Here's Your Complimentary Virus!

School started August 17 for my five year old. His nose started mildly running on the 26th.

The toddler fell ill on the 27th and the evening of the 28th he was up all night (no joke). The nose bulb and nebulizer were back in business.

I took both kids to the doctor on the 28th. Verdict: the "welcome back to school!" virus. Ok, the doctor didn't call it this but the name seems appropriate.

The five year old's birthday party was yesterday. The two year old was too sick to go - good thing he's only two and didn't realize. His Dad stayed home with him while I ran the party.

By yesterday evening, I was sick, turning in at 8:30 pm. When the toddler woke up at 6:30 am this morning (full of beans), I asked my husband to take him so I could go back to bed. He woke me up at 10:30 am with a breakfast tray of organic pancakes, sliced bananas, fresh coffee and iced juice. I think I'll keep him! Though the family room looked like a tornado hit it when I came downstairs, the kitchen was immaculate, which more than compensates.

And now my husband is sick.

I'm hoping we're just getting all of this business out of the way early so we can have a nice healthy school year. Let's hold hands and chant together! "heal-thy school year!" "heal-thy school year!" "heal-thy school year!"
