Germs!

Oh, how I am starting to HATE germs. Jack and Molly both came down with colds about ten days ago. Molly's developed into an ear infection that has led us to urgent care once and regular doctor too. She's had to have her antibiotic changed because she still has it. I thought Jack was over his cold (or he was and just caught another virus) but yesterday he starting coughing like a mad man and after listening to him all night, we have decided he has the croup once again. Now, I am wondering if he didn't pick that up in the pediatricians office while we were getting Molly looked at. I really should have washed his hands. Anyhow, I am sick of the sickies in my house. It seems to never end.

On an up note, Jeff and I did get a few hours out by ourselves last night. Ahhhh, it was heaven. We actually got reprimanded for not staying out later. We love our neighbores Gene and Joann. They are surrogate parents/grandparents to us and it makes us feel that we are not so far from people who love us. We even did pretty well and didn't talk about the kids that much. We still found things to talk about--amazing isn't it?

I find myself actually hoping that my softball game is cancelled today. I'm so tired from lack of sleep (due to coughing) and just simply want to stay home. Looks like rain so we'll see what happens.
