sick of the sick

friday morning i woke up to find a toddler with a very low fever and was so happy that i started to count my chickens before they were hatched. he has still been really lethargic and only wants to lay on the couch. he's still hacking away with this terrible cough and very drippy nose but at least the fever has gone down - we'll take it. the saddest thing you've ever heard though is his sweet little voice all horse and scratchy.

then about half way through the morning i could feel the first little tingles of a cough in the back of my throat and kept saying to myself, "i will NOT get sick, i am NOT getting sick, i don't have TIME to get sick, uh-uh, no way, absolutely NOT, no sir." then spencer called from school and needed to be picked up because he is was sick. this morning my "stay well mantre" was quashed by my sinus headache which i haven't been able to shake all day. so can i just ask WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE!? we just don't get sick very often and i guess that's a good thing because i'm just not patient enough to deal with it long term like this. i'm officially sick of the sick. bleh.

Sounds like Tanner has a similar thing to Ethan. I hope it doesn't last that long! Natalie is also starting to show some symptoms so I imagine we'll all get it eventually. No fun. Hope you guys feel better soon!
