well.. our house has been blessed with yet another cold bug. it seems like this winter one of us has had it at any given time. right now i am the only healthy one (and i'm guessing that won't last long).
i've decided that having sick kids is rather bitter sweet. when they are sick there are 3 things they love to do.
they love to snuggle.
they love hugs.
they love kisses.
now, normally all 3 of those things are things that i love. crazy and busy boys don't stop often for snuggles and kisses. so when they do stop i take all i can get. they remind me why i do what i do and i can't get enough of them. however ... boogers and barky coughs make those kisses and snuggles suddenly lose a lot of their appeal :)
i want so bad to give them out freely .. but all i can think of is that it will only be days before all of these germs turn on me and then we're all gonna be in rough shape!
i suppose that's part of being a mom though:)
so for now i'll continue to accept their sweet (and salty) kisses. i think sometimes my snuggles offer something medicine can't.
by next week ... my guess is that i'll either be home sick ... or if everyone else is still sick ... i may be on vacation.

My kids are sick too. Oliver really hates when I try and pry the dried up snot from his nostrils, but I just want him to be able to breathe! ;)
