sweet (and rather salty) kisses

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! ;)
