getting sick...

So, the pixie caught something from one of the little snot-gobblers that she goes to preschool with last week.  About Tuesday night, I caught it.  I've spent two-thirds of the first week back to class sick.  And that can fuck off.

Here's hoping I don't lose my voice next week.

Getting sick is bad enough in the winter, but summer sick can certainly fuck the fuck off.
Do you give your kiddies daily vitamin supplements like Flintstones or similar? OJ for breakfast or something with Vit C in it? And you my sick friend try Airborne. Buy several packages and keep some with you at all time. If you follow instructions, it will help. If you already know this then good for you.

My kids are sensitive to red food coloring, so they get the GummyVites, but those, they get daily. Lots of vitamin C through fruit for the pixie. Imp gets as much juice as he wants; pixie is super-sensitive to acidic things.

As for me, I do what I can. Hot lemon/honey/whiskey toddies, for the most part. Some of the herbal remedies tend to make me feel disconnected and foggy. Or worse.

Sick any time can fuck the fuck off. Especially for grown ups who have to push on.
