The sick season

I have lots to write about... Christmas (!), Colin's birthday, a trip to the aquarium, Valentine's Day, and a host of other things... But right now, I can't. We're in the sick season. Just as soon as we get over one bug, it's on to another. It's been a long nine solid days of sniffles, coughs, snot explosions, fevers, double ear infections, and lots and lots of breathing treatments. No one has been spared, although it is effecting each of us to a different degree. It's been a struggle to just get the basic stuff attended to. I think we are on the mend, though. There aren't piles of used Kleenex to wade through anymore, and the house is a lot quieter this morning than in the past. Six family members all coughing at the same time is quite loud, actually. And, in a way, amusing. Almost.
