Got a case of the Sickies?

Did you get the bug too? We officially have every bug of the winter season to date! I was so proud of our family last week, when everyone else was talking about how sick they all were and how "it's SO BAD this year!" -- in the back of my mind I was like, 'wow, we're doing good -- we haven't caught anything this year'.

I spoke way to soon! I came down with the chest-nose-sinus-ears-aches-cough-can't breath cold and have been battling it for almost a week now, but the worst has been the past 2 1/2 days. I stayed home sick from work yesterday and was going to try to get into work today but....

Our toddler daughter woke up this morning vomitting! So, now she has some sort of stomach bug. She had the sniffles and cough for a couple of days, but was doing better last night.

My husband had the sniffles and sneezes for one day and then he was better -- yes, ONE day! How does he get away with that? It's not fair at all!

The only one not sick at this house is the cat....

Thank goodness for PBS -- we're watching Super Why as we speak, so mommy can get away from the germs for a minute! Hope there's something good on next...maybe a little Seasame Street or Barney? I don't really care what it is, as long as it holds her attention!

I broke out the disinfectant wipes...I know they'll come in handy today! :)

Oh I hope you guys are all feeling better soon! We've managed to mostly avoid it so far (knocking furiously on wood), but I have the feeling that our time is coming as well. Definitely gotta love those disinfectant wipes though! :)

This weekend is going to be horribly cold around here (as I am sure you have heard). Stay in and get better!
