Green liquid death in a bottle is my friend

You know the stuff...the liquid that basically says if you aren't near your bed prior to taking it that you better hope wherever you are at is pretty comfortable. The stuff that tells you not to operate machinery or a vehicle and don't even attempt to walk a straight line while taking it. The stuff that warns you not to even try to pick your nose without someone keeping your hand steady so you don't poke an eye out. Your friend and mine....NyQuil!

Yes friends.....BY DOSE IS STUBBED UB! In fact....every human in my house has a head cold. WAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Little D sounds like a frog and is loving it. He keeps making noises just to hear his own voice. He is having way to much fun with this. Princess Grabby Hands just doesn't have it in her to grab anything. You know she has to be super sick when that happens. I am ready to strap a permanent bucket under each nose to catch the drips. Papa bear is sneezing so hard that he blows the garbage cans across the street. He shouldn't be Papa bear...he should be The Big Bad Wolf who will blow this house down.

And me you ask? I have a nose that weighs approximately the same as a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Where the heck does all this snot come from? I blow my nose and 2 seconds later it is at capacity again! I should take stock in Kleenex if I continue at this rate. >>>Mental Note...see what stock in Kleenex is going for...<<<

Of course LD is just as rambunctious as ever. That child will never wear down. If I could have 1/16th of the energy that boy has I could make millions selling it! It's like living with Ricochet Rabbit! If you know who that is...you are old like me! LOL

PGH is looking pitiful. She even took TWO...count them...TWO NAPS today. One in bed and one on Pops. I've never seen a more pitiful looking child. Either she is really sick or she knows how to play it to the hilt!

Papa is fairing better then the rest of us. He just has a bit of a stuffy nose and some sneezing. How does he rate? Why does he get the minimal amount of icky feeling? Where is my "little" cold? Why don't I have just a "little" cold? NOOOOOOOOOOOO I have to have a sore throat, sneezing, congestion, eyes that feel like someone threw cat litter in them and am ready to pass out if I sit still for more then 10 seconds. NO FAIR!

If this makes any sense at all it will be a miracle since I took my green death friend about 10 minutes ago.

Well, I must find a mattress. If I don't, I will end up falling asleep while writing thizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bless you mommy! Bless me too!

Just call us the house of sickies! Little D had a raspy voice, runny nose and sneezing yesterday. I've been sniffling all over today. Princess Grabby Hands is teething which is never a happy occasion EVER! Add to that....I think I had a touch of food poisoning, but I won't go into the gory details! Aren't you just so happy about that?

LD was sneezing everywhere yesterday so I kept telling him BLESS YOU SWEETIE! After a while he would say BLESS ME before I even had a chance. I would follow it up with YES, BLESS YOU!

Today it's mommy with the nose 'o' sneezes! I feel like someone strapped a whole container of pepper to my nose. Every time I sneezed, LD would say very loudly BLESS YOU MOMMY! BLESS ME TOO!

Ya gotta laugh at that! I guess he was covering his bases just in case! The kid is REALLY blessed!

The really big kid in my house (the one I call hubby) always tells me to take an ANTI HISSY TAB! I get the generic antihistitabs from Wallyworld (b/c the name brand is just too darn expensive). I get really bad sinus headaches sometimes which makes me crabby. (don't know why...aren't I supposed to be all sunshine and lollypops?) Hubby tells me if I take the anti HISSY tabs that I won't HISS at him so much! Yes....I literally do hiss at him when given the chance and I'm in a crabby mood! I feel it's better then yelling or telling him off! LOL

Hopefully we are all sniffle and sneeze free tomorrow. Probably will be just fine only for the simple fact that the kids have a check up tomorrow so they have to prove me a liar that they were ever sick! It never fails! The kids have some really nasty cold or rash or whatever and the second we get into the doctor, they look like a picture of perfect health! You know they have to do it just to spite me! LOL

PGH has had a horrible rash from teething all week and guess what is almost gone tonight? You guessed it! Of course it won't show up when she is on the way to the doctors! That would make sense! I just know that somehow they are doing this on purpose! I don't know how but they have to be! They are kids, they are capable of ANYTHING!

Don't put anything past a toddler!!!! Not even curing their own illness to make you look like a loony mom!
