Tis the season...

Ok - I think it is a given every year - we hit November and we ALL get sick... yes I said ALL!! This has been one of those weekends where every last one of us is fighting some kind of nasty bug - even poor little Ella. Sick little babies are definitely a sad sight, but I must say she is a happy sick baby - between her coughing and runny nose all we get are smiles from this little angel. Anyway, last year at this time we all had H1N1 and this year we all have regular flu, colds, and other various viruses. Maybe next year, I will have learned my lesson and when November hits, I will sequester everyone into the house to wait out the rest of the winter... hmmm, I am not ok with that - can you imagine locking yourself in your house with 4 active children for days on end - uhm, heck no!! Oh well, we will survive this minor set back - it just takes time. Andrew got the worst of everyone officially being diagnosed with walking Pneumonia so he is the only one who is taking any medicine. I am finally back at work today - not very happily mind you because I still don't feel so good myself. But the kids are seeming to all feel better and except for a few coughs and some more runny noses, we had a fairly decent morning getting everyone ready for the day. It does seem that we are at least on the mend so hopefully in the next few days Andrew and I will feel as good as the kids... there is hope!!!
