exhausted

it has been the house of sickness here.

i started it off with a cold: runny nose, cough, sore throat...the works.

Matthew started next with the cold, assuming he got it from me, which then turned into an ear infection and pink eye in both eyes.

then i took over on saturday evening/sunday morning with a severe sore throat. Jacob took me to the hospital and they gave me a prescription for strep.

5 days later, my throat is still sore, and i've developed a cough. i'm told to gargle cough syrup and spit it out (the crazy things you do when you're breast feeding), run a humidifier in our bedroom (which would be great, but we only have one, and the baby takes precedence over me), or i can chew half of a mucinex.

i am sooo ready for this to be over!!

I'm sorry you're sick! That Vicks stuff is great - we used it when Isaac was little. Oh and heat packs - not sure why but they always make me feel better when I'm sick - has nothing to do with whether or not I actually need them. And ice cream. And Gilmore Girls.

yes! Morgan, we went and got the vicks vaporizer....jacob finally found it!

and the vicks for babies?? COULD NOT find it ANYWHERE!!! UGH!

But believe me...there are LOTS of Gilmore Girls being watched.
