So far, this has been the crappiest winter we’ve ever had in terms of getting sick. In just this year alone, here’s how we stand as a family:

Me: 2 (mostly coughing and congestion)

Jes: 3 (fever, coughing, congestion, stomach problems)

Peanut:2 (coughing, congestion, stomach bug)

KK: 2 (fever, coughing, stomach bug, ear infection, possible pink eye)

And it’s only mid-February!!! Each illness seems to last longer than usual too.  Both kids have been prescribed a 10-day course of antibiotics and albuterol.  This is a first for KK, which means it must be bad.  I suppose it has much to do with being in Preschool.  Her teacher says that the class size is smaller this week because so many kids have been home sick.

On top of all this, Mirian and her daughter have also been sick, which complicates things even more. For example, last night, she texted to say that she has an ear ache and it was getting worse. So, I’m home with Peanut today again.  She already called in sick because of a fever a couple weeks ago. At this rate, I should just work Part Time.
