sicko

I was working on this big post about snow & Climate Change. I'll share it soon. Right now I don't have the energy to finish it, or to enter into debate about it.

I am sick. Cough & congestion, fever & body aches, too dizzy to stand up much sick. Little Sister seemed to have it- she was pitiful and wanted to be held almost all day. But she never had a fever.

Today she is acting like her usual playful self. (Actually, while I type this, she is working on a dirty diaper. But she keeps walking over to Big Sis, lifting up the back of her shirt and asking, "[BigSis], you poopin'?" This is making Big Sister very angry and indignant. It is also making me laugh uncontrollably. Which in turn makes me cough. And hurt. And want to cry.

I don't know why this winter has been so rough on us as far as sickness goes. Maybe it's Mom's Morning Out and being around little kids for just a few hours, twice a week. Enough time to be exposed but not to build up immunity. Whatever it is, it stinks.

I'm going to try to help get my kids ready for school, and then I'm heading back to bed.
