Icky sicky

March 4th, 2007 at 03:02 am

About a week ago, my mom got a cold. About 5 days ago, ds1 got a cold. About 3 days ago, ds2 got a cold. Yesterday, despite washing my hands so frequently that they are all cracked, despite not touching anything that my kids nibbled, breathed, or sneezed on, I got the cold too. Might have had something to do with the fact that when they snuggled into our bed, I didn't have the heart or desire to turn their little faces away from mine as their warm breath fell on my face. Or that I used an entire box of tissues to wipe their little noses 20 times a day. Or maybe it was when one of them sneezed in my face Smile However it happened, there's no more denying it. I'm sick too. Ugh.
We have a very busy day tomorrow - I'm showing a house at 1pm, playing in a card match at 3:30, and bowling at 6:30. This also means that we have to pay for a sitter from 3-9pm (that's IF I still feel like doing all this - I will probably feel worse tomorrow).
Moneywise, things are looking up - very up! We received our federal tax refund. I have to move it over to our Ameritrade account (and/or to Vanguard) to finish our 2006 contributions for our Roths. I made a $1000 payment on the AmEx (Dh's tuition at 0% - only $3500 left) and paid off a Discover charge earlier this month for a car repair. We have no cc debt other than the tuition. I also made the first payment on D's student loans since he finished school. The payment is $110, but I paid $200. I want to knock sucker out so early (tip of the hat to BA here). We have plenty of money in the account and several paychecks of DH's from subbing that he hasn't even collected yet, much less cashed. Yup, things are looking up.

    Ah well, the petri dishes with feet have struck again. Take care of yourself, lots of fluids, lots of rest.

    My mom's old remedy was to mix honey and lime juice...it works every time. Feel better

    Lemon, honey, garlic(fresh,minced) will knock it out too. Hope you all feel better soon. I just finished dosing my oldest son with the lemon, honey garlic mixture. I've used this for years with excellent results.
