Sick house

We had another snow day today. This time with lots of snow! The day off was helpful because I had to bring Alan and Lex to the doctor this morning. The mountains of snow were less helpful. Lex had a high fever last weekend (Sunday and Monday), which developed into a deep, hard cough on Tuesday and has persisted ever since. Alan came home Friday with flu-like symptoms and has been flat out ever since. Good times! The doctor swabbed Alan for strep and flu, but both came back negative, so she diagnosed them both with having “wicked bad colds.” Then she prescribed them extra-strength cold medicine. I’d be worried about myself if I hadn’t spent three days flat out two weeks ago with a strep throat and a sinus infection. Hopefully I won’t catch anything new! Both boys have been grumpy and irritable and us girls are trying our best to be rays of sunshine. :) Or something like that. Eve got mad at me at CVS today because I wouldn’t buy her a stuffed animal (as if the small fortune I was spending on medicine wasn’t already enough!) and has been grumpy ever since. She has also started complaining of sore joints and of being really, really cold. Sigh. AND, just to add to the fun, Daisy has been sneezing all day. Do cats catch cold? (I’m sure they do) Do I have to do something about that?!

Come on Spring!! We really need to open up the windows and air this place out!

Oh, PS, happy February! Only four short weeks until March. :)
