So remember when I said that Harry spent the grand majority of his Spring Break laying on the couch because he was sick and all that fun stuff? Well the little dear gave his SICK to the rest of us (minus Kile cuz he’s speshul) and now we’re the ones laying around and moaning dramatically.
So far, it appears Liam has the worst of it. Last night, just before dinner, the child fell asleep. This is WHOLLY uncommon. He laid down on the floor which is strange to begin with because normally he’s a whirlwind of activity. I stepped over his prone form and carried Evie into the kitchen to get her strapped into her chair and some food on her tray. As soon as I was done with that, Kile called to Liam that it was dinner time and he was OUT. There was no waking him up. Very strange. When he woke up a little later (and kept threatening to fall asleep in his peanut butter and jelly sandwhich), I noticed he was a little warm so we dosed him up with some Motrin and put the poor thing to bed. Today he has been little better, laying around on the couch, whining and being extra spiteful to his sister. He had another fever and another dose of Motrin. It’s strange to see him feeling sick anymore, since we’re so used to seeing him go full tilt all the time.
Evie has it better, at least so far. Her issues are limited to a runny nose (NICE) and some mild congestion. It hasn’t hampered her spirit any and she enjoyed crawling around the living room and playing like a wild thing all morning long. Pausing for the occasional swiping of her nose was simply unacceptable, but a neccessity as far as I’m concerned. I cannot have snail trails all over my house. Gah.
And me… well I’m worse than Evie but not as bad as Liam. No fever yet, that I can tell. But I have a raging headache, congestion, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and general aches and pains whenever I, you know, MOVE.
GOOD TIMES.
So please send all the get well vibes you can towards this house. Because being sick really sucks. And I’d hate to have to start calling this place The House of Phlegm.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Well, you are not alone, Marilyn. Elizabeth caught a cold last week and promptly gave it to Paul. So, that makes it Snot: 2, Miller: 1 and I woke up this morning with a slight stuffy nose, so I’m very afraid that means that Snot has wiped the floor with the Miller family. I just had a royal battle with Elizabeth about wiping her nose, which ended badly for all involved. She’s consoling herself with the Backyardigans and I’m calming down by playing on the computer for a few minutes.
Feel better, and if you get better first, send the “healthy” vibes my way, ok?
Oh, that stinks. I hate the travelling sickness. When one of my boys goes down, we’re all just waiting for the rest… Hope it’s a quick recovery.
