Cold

I'm sitting in my room watching Dancing With the Stars listening to Emily on the monitor as she coughs repeatedly. 

I know we're in a new area and that the girls would get exposed to all the germy's that live here.  I thought I was prepared for it, but ahhhhh maaaaaannnn!  She has a tight cough and is running a little fever (100.8).  I'm whining.  I'm not particularly worried, but I just don't want another sick child.  Even for a few days.  She probably can't go to school tomorrow so I'll have them both home.  Ewwww. 

I was just thinking about how much I need a break today.  Jeff's aunt said she could come by one day this week to help out with Abby.  I wondered what I should do with a few hours.  Should I nap?  Should I clean uninterrupted?  Run errands?  Do nothing?

Oh, I know!  Take Emily to the Dr.  Typing that makes me laugh.  Honestly, Emily is easy sick.  She rests and relaxes, and if she manages to stay out of the hospital it's not so hard. 

Abby's been much better the last few days.  No crying and fussing, but horrible nausea today.  She had that awful icky color to her skin.  No fever though.  I didn't run her feeding last night because she was so sick, but I got the whole thing in her today.  No matter what else is going on, without the crying, I'm alright!

So here we go again.  Short, easy cold or yucky hospital stay?  I vote for short and easy :)
