We've had a week of stuff!  Belle got sick with strep throat symptoms last Thursday.  I took her to the doctor and he put her on antibiotics right away.  I was so glad of that because Grandma and Grandpa were coming for a visit on Friday.

The antibiotics took away all of her strep symptoms within about 36 hours.  That was great.  She was just starting to feel a lot better when she started coming down with a bad cold--cough, and low-grade fever again, and then the nose started to go.  At about the same time I got it--sore throat, post-nasal gunk, and swollen glands, but no significant fever.  My throat doesn't look bad, just red.

Today Boo woke up with a fever and sore throat.  The other symptoms haven't appeared yet, but he was walking around today with a temp of 100-102.  If it got above 101 he started asking for Tylenol, but he doesn't act or appear really ill.

School is a not-happening thing this week...my first week that was supposed to be a full one of lessons is turning out to be one of no lessons.  I am hobbling through, doing laundry and getting meals on at about half my usual speed.  We've spent time watching educational dvds and working on a jigsaw puzzle--which the whole family finished together tonight.  It hasn't been a bad week--unless I think about the things I would like to be doing and am not.

Oh well, this too shall pass. 

Thus goes this entry--the first of at least two--and at the bottom, so you can read it and move on to more satisfactory things.
