Ickies...

Not sure if "ickies" is even a word, but that's what's been going around this house the last couple of weeks. I though (for a minute) that it was going to bypass me, but ahhhh- not so fast my friends.

It was this time last year that I was at the beginning stages of severe bronchitis and was sick for a month or so with various ailments. I hope this chest cold doesn't turn into something worse and makes it's way out of our house soon.

I heard that you can take Vicks vapor rub and rub it on your feet at night (and then cover them w/ your socks) and it will curb your cough through the night. Todd's done it and it worked for him so I tried it last night and it worked. I am hitting the sack soon and will be lubing up my feet once again.

Jack is all better- just trying to finish off his cough and Riley is at the tail end of her ickies- it's just me now, trying to deal with it the best I can since we all know calling in sick isn't an option. We've cancelled three playdates this week already and we hope to keep our last two! The worst part about being sick is I can't go to the gym every morning. I actually miss getting up at 5:00 a.m. and working out- who would have thought I'd ever say that. But- I'll take those early a.m.'s any day over this nonsense that's made a home in my chest.

Anyway- enough venting for now- gotta get Jack to bed and hit the sack myself.

Until next time....
