Snotfest
I was speaking with a business associate earlier today, and he asked me what my plans were for the weekend. I told him probably not much, since everyone’s sick, it’s basically been a snotfest. He laughed and asked if I thought there could ever be that much mucous. I said it’s actually more than their body weight. I don’t know how this happens.
Ava’s been in good spirits despite the rivers of yellow and green boogers. You can see a smile in there if you squint. She’s a trouper. We’re probably just playing pinball with the germs, bouncing the sickness back and forth between all of us. We’ve all heard about what happens when your child starts school, but we never thought it would be like this. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but Gia started just a couple of weeks ago, and it’s been downhill ever since. I don’t know what kind of mutant strains are lurking in that school, but they’re no joke.
We’ve been told that Gia’s the one going around hugging everyone. I wonder if a full body suit and a gas mask would offend anyone.

It’s amazing how often my daughter gets sick now that she’s in preschool. I cringe when the kids touch my baby when I’m dropping off my daughter. Oh well, they say germs help build their immune system!

LOL! I feel your pain, we’ve all had one bug or another, also playing pinball. The body weight thing had me cracking up! Here from the CFL.
It’s been a couple of weeks, and they’re bouncing back, just in time for our pediatrician to return from vacation. Clearly they have better immune systems than their parents.
