Where's the Lysol ?

I'm so tired of all the germie monsters that have invaded my home.

I have been sick for nearly 3 weeks. Rachael has been sick on and off for about 3 weeks. Trevor's not feeling so hot. Kasey is coughing again. And Erin wanted McDonald's for breakfast this morning, apparently he is doing okay...right now.

I'm not one of the mommy's who brings their child to the doctor for every sneeze or cough. I learned with Rachael that all they do is tell you its a virus and let is runs its course. But when Rachael's fever spiked to over 103 I took her in and since I was going I brought Trevor with me since his cough is sounding pretty nasty.

They swabbed Rachael for the flu and it came back positive. I can't believe how fast Rachael crashed. She was ok on Monday ... and then BOOM ....super sick little girl! As for Trevor, he probably has it, but he isn't very cooperative these days so we skipped the swabbing. I don't really need it confirmed, they treat it the same as a virus.

The doctor checked Trevor's ears and he starting laughing ... This is what he was laughing at.


Do you see the green in his ear ... He highlighted himself ..

GREEN. IN HIS EAR. HIGHLIGHTER.

We were doing some paperwork the other night and he was playing with a highlighter. It doesn't quite work like a Q-tip ...

And for the record....Erin has given the boys their baths the last couple of nights. I really didn't know the extent of the highlighting.

EDITED TO ADD: Received a call from the school clinic..Erin has a 101 fever ...

I . AM . DONE .
