Kindergarten germs are no joke. Gavin, thankfully, hasn't had to miss too much school but the poor kid has had a stuffy nose on and off (mostly on) since school started. I know it is par for the course but we are at the end of January with nearly 5 more months left in the school year. Rough. Last month the poor kid had Coxsackie and then I had the displeasure of also having it. You would think he would get a break after that, nope, as soon as he returned after being out for a week he had a new cold that was then passed to us all. Yay. Now in the last week and a half we have all had the flu. Awesome. I guess I am grateful the kids recover so quickly and only seem to be down for a day or two but man it has been rough on all of us. I have discovered I am not a fan of getting older and am choosing to blame that in part for the icky germs getting me. Add in lack of good sleep, not enough exercise, not enough fresh air, and the roller coaster weather, it has been rough. We are ready for a break, ready for spring, and ready to enjoy life again!
Anyway, despite this (and the resulting far too much TV time), we are trying to make the most of the almost healthy times. Gavin and I blew up his sled yesterday and used it on our hills of ice out back, it was a blast!
Gavin and Dane have had lots of sweet moments trying to take care of each other and the poor sickly adults in the house.
Dane and I have had lots of snuggle time when Gavin has been in school.
So here is to hoping for a turn around and long break from all the germs for us.... It's time, right?!?!
