ANOTHER Trip to the Doctor

I give up!  I really thought that if I kept them in and required them to drink lots, get lots of rest, sneak out for some fresh warm air and take it easy they would, without a doubt, be healthy and back to school today.  Not so.  This HAS to be the last big illness of their first grade year.  The house may permanently smell like Vicks after this one.  We might never find all the cough drop trash and Kleenexes.  We had to buy our last bottles of hand sanitizer at Sam’s, for crying out loud!  Have you seen the size of those things??  I spent Saturday disinfecting anything and everything I could think of to disinfect.  The bathtub was full of toys soaking in a bleach and water solution.  Every doorknob, light switch, Wii accessory, remote, phone and other surface has been wiped down with Clorox wipes.  If there was just a way to disinfect the kiddos! 

We’re going back to the doctor today.  Addie’s ears are now draining and hurting – that can’t be good.  Something has got to change…and soon!
