Well, we spent two full weeks with the stomach bug, then just as we started to celebrate that everyone was feeling better, something much like strep throat attacked and for the next full week from day to day each kid came down with it. Got over that one just in time for Isaac to bring home a hearty case of conjunctivitis this week to share, and Levi's class sent us their love in the form of a hacky cough and some upper respiratory congestion. So we have basically spent the entire month sick; this is the longest we've been down in years.
There is no school today, thanks to that -13 degree gusty wind and the 8 inches of snow we had dumped on us yesterday, so I guess I will be grateful and hope it helps kill the pandemic of illnesses that seem to be rampaging our area. The kids are all feeling pretty good today except for Dabriah, and I am also sitting here in bed with a warm blanket on and a roll of toilet paper and bag of cough drops in easy reach.
At the moment the kids are building castles out of blocks and every pot in the kitchen.
