It's a conspiracy!

There.  I said it.

Someone in our house has been sick with one thing or another since the end of SEPTEMBER!  I think I can MAYBE count on one hand the number of days we've had everyone healthy at once.  I've bleached everything I can think of.  I have the windows open every day that it's warm enough.  We are handwashing so much that we all have chapped (sometimes bleeding!) hands!  AAARRRGGHHH!!!

But it's not just us!  The neighbors have been sick just as long, and we haven't been interacting much.  My mom & step-dad as well, and they are only here if we're healthy.  My dad & step-mom have had a bad run of it this month as well.

Someone make it stop!!!  Please?

Last week, I took all 8 dc to get their checkups.  Wouldn't ya know - they were pronounced healthy.  Every single one!  I thought we were done with it!  But starting Friday, we all (save 2) have nasty head colds/coughs.  And last night, 2 of the littles started with yucky dipes again!!  I want to just sit and cry.

Maybe I will.  'Cept we're out of tissues.

Peace,

Katie

Oh Katie,
I'm so sorry you're all so sick!!! It's even worse around the holidays. Look on the bright side...you're all getting it out of your system now, so for Christmas, you should all be feeling well. I'll be praying for you all, for healing and for strength.

Big hugs and keep smiling!!!
