The details

Another sick day today...and yesterday...and Sunday...and Saturday.

We went to the doctor yesterday after a sleepless Sunday night. Charlotte has a respiratory virus. She is coughing and had a fever. She's doing much better today and I expect she'll be back at school tomorrow. Alexander has a urinary tract infection. He will start antibiotics tonight and then a steroid cream in a few days. Julian and I both feel colds coming on, but we'll see what happens.

Boy, are we feeling cooped up. First the rain, now this. Yesterday everyone was tired, so there was lots of TV and lounging around. Today everyone is a little bit better, so there's much more interaction (and therefore, much more fighting). The kids are getting pretty creative though. They brought the Costco-sized pack of construction paper and scissors and tape ("so we don't have to wait for the glue to dry") to the kitchen table and suddenly there appeared two school buses and lots of snowflakes.

I'd write more, but I have to go break up a fight.

sorry to hear that everyone has been sick - hope you are all recovering by now. I have had a sinus infection since the day after Steve's party that is a whole month and had 2 rounds of antibiotics so far and it is still not gone 100% - it even causes me to have no voice some mornings - you can imagine how hard that is for me!! :-)

Will you be going to Sandra party on Sunday? I will be there - hope to see you all.
