Am I a pessimistic Mom if every time my kids cough, I assume I may need to grab a bucket? Last Winter was an absolute illness-nightmare for our family. I swear nearly every week, someone was coming down with a new illness. I sincerely hope we don't do that this year, but I'm sort of expecting it. If it doesn't happen, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Here's a handy article on what to do with a passel of sick kids over at Se7en's blog.
But I promise this doesn't mean we are sick at this moment. Isn't Summer glorious that way?
We had the same experience last winter. It was non-stop! It literally started with my delivering the baby and coming home with a cold from the hospital. Then we just kept fighting colds all the way until the summer. I really hope it doesn't happen again!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out that article now.
We had everything from colds to flu to stomach bugs. It was nuts. I REALLY hope that every winter with kids is NOT like that one!
