No, no, no, no, no!

We have a snotty, congested little Monkey. It started Sunday evening after our day o’ fun and by Monday night he was sounding like a 50 year old man with a two pack a day habit. Hoarse voice, hacking cough. Nice. Then the nose started to run. OMG, we just may drown in the river of snot!

I calmly chugged a quart of orange juice, sprayed myself head to toe with Lysol and ran shrieking every time Monkey asked for “a hug!” ((No, I did not really deny my boy hugs OR kisses! I just carried bleach wipes and scrubbed the drying snot off my cheeks regularly!)) We can handle this! No big deal!

So whyyyyyyy is my face hot? Whyyyyyy do I have this incessant, cough that is building in both frequency and ferocity?

I guess maybe I should have run…or wrapped myself in Saran Wrap, surely that would have worked *sigh*

    I was just getting ready to write: I don’t like the fact that you are sicky poo house, I like the fact that I’m not alone in my addiction to disinfecting. The 5 year old neighbor asked me “Mrs. Lupinetti, why do you always make me wash my hands when i come to your house. ” My response, because you go to school and you just got off the bus.” She thinks I’m nuts! BTW, I thought of you tonight when my Dad called and told me the equipment truck has headed to Fort Myers..lol!

    Sorry Amy! The football coach at my HS wore a shirt that said “Snot Bubbles” to at least one game…I think of him every time my son has a cold.

    Hey…the germs were fairly distributed. Nathan has a fever today and it was going to be my first full week of school for him since December!!! If it’s not blizzard, it had to be something, right? And I am missing my weekly mom group…ugh!
