Last week was our first full week since first of Sept with no nose wiping, coughing, or exhausted kids. Not so with this week. One child is home because his asthma in no longer controlled and he is coming down with another cold, two others have running noses and one is complaining of an ear ache even though she just finished meds for an ear infection. She has a followup appointment on Wed so hopefully she can make it that long. My cough is coming back and I can tell I have way more stuff down the back of my throat than is normal so I am going to be right there with them probably next week. Makes for easy care weeks in the sense of mostly they just laze around and don't do too much. I drink tea and wipe noses and that is pretty much it. Sometimes a nice break to look forward to unless I get too sick.
