We had a Snow Day

Although I think it was more of a "We think the roads are going to flood and become harzardous and since it's already february we probably won't get many more huge snow falls" day.

As you know, last week I missed a week of work because I had the flu and the kids were playing volley ball with a stomache virus / flu like cold. I even kept them home on Monday because after 2 days without fever or vomit, Sunday afternoon they all simultaneously took a nap and woke with with 102.5 fevers!

They were really fine on Monday, my brother stayed with them so I could go to work. Tuesday, everyone went to school. It was a hard morning, they had been home for a week and they really really really like being home.. Well, I got them into their schools... I pick them up and viola' everything was right with the world.

Today... the snow day. My 4.5 year old starts coughing. Not a little dainty cough, but a full on barking dog into an amp'd microphone cough. I myself have quite a cough. My 3.5 year old started with the snot bullets then followed that up with a wet cough. My 6.5 year old... is in a state of perpetual coughing-ness since October. Ssooooooooooo I took us all back to the Dr.
4.5, got antibiotic for bronchitis
3.5, got antibiotic for double ear infection
6.5, got prednizone to kick the cough
ME, I got antibiotic for bronchitis, some kind of capsules that will help with the cough and cough syrup with codeine (which I won't be using)

Tomorrow... I am confident, we will be feeling better... Tommorrow is a new day.

I gotta tell you, I disinfected the tar out of this house on Sunday, I aired it out, I washed all the linens, the clothes... I did it all... If this virus or what ever it is continues to linger I might start thinking about going West to visit my parents! HA HA HA HA HA HA AH AHA HA HA

OK... I have to go snuggle with my sickies, they have all been medicated! They are ready for bed... I hope I hope.. that tomorrow brings a new.. healthy day!

Have a great one!

P.S. My sister just called... wanted to know if a fever and achy was a virus or bactrial? I googled and it didn't look good. Only thing I noticed is that normally the virus only lasts 2-3 days... where I had it for a full 7 days of fever... I must have gotten the ... super duper virus. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

OK, I gots to go
have a good one.

I'll keep you posted.

By the way, B. Thanks for the advice about the chain. I thought about that, but I was talking to my brother and we may be able to modify the existing fence in the areas where Rosie seems to escape the easiest and see if that fixes the problem.
