Sick and Tired

No pictures or videos today... just feel like venting for a brief moment.
Last Thursday night Evie started with a cold.. hoarsy cough which left her without a voice the next day (that was nice) ;) and now a slight runny nose.. she seems to be getting better.. but no amount of handwashing, covering mouth, even to the point of making her wear surgical masks around the house, could prevent Evan from getting sick. :( He is miserable.. again. At least he is sleeping through the night with it but when he wakes he cries and cries.. he hates having his nose suctioned.. but I have to do it. He seems tempermental.. one moment he's happy.. you lean over to kiss him or mess with him in the slightest, he throws a tantrum. It just boils down to him being tired of being sick. And I'm tired of it too.. Joe informs me this morning as he's leaving for work that he can't lean in to give me a goodbye kiss because he has this cold of theirs.. HELLO!!! I get coughed and spit at all day long by two kids! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I told him that I think Mother Nature has a way of taking care of other mothers so that they can care for their ENTIRE sick families. Luckily, I seem immune to all of their sicknesses.. it better stay that way.. or I might just snap! LOL
But what do I do? I can't NOT send my daughter to school.. (where all of these illnesses are harvested), just to MAYBE stay germ free for a few days.. we just may have to go to the grocery store where everyone else who is sick goes.
I need a vacation.. someplace warm.. where the colds and flus and bronchitis don't flourish.
My friend, Kylla is taking a cruise soon.. think I may stow away in her suitcase.

I'm sorry :( Don't forget about grocery store deliveries. Schnucks will deliver. I'm not sure about other stores. Completely worth the price, instead of dragging two kids out. Of course, I'd be happy to stop by the store if you need it, for free!! I can shop with just Anthony when Alex is in Busy Bees. I love shopping with only one kid!! (None will always be the best though)

Feel better soon everyone!!
