Another day home sick yesterday, and mommy’s about done. I’ve got a lovely cold myself, and the last thing I want to do is entertain kids hit hard with cabin fever. But yesterday was rainy and miserable, so even a walk to the park was out of the question. Maddie’s cold is full-on now, with lots of snotty tissues all over the house (“In case I want to use it again!”) and periodic denial (“I’m not sick! I need to go to school so I can be calendar helper! IT’S MY DAY!”) which makes my life just that much more joyous. And Cora’s RSV seems to have segued smoothly into Maddie’s cold as well – either that or Cora’s taking a record amount of time getting over this RSV.

We spent some time making a get-well card for our friend Elise, who is alas also stricken with RSV. We got good and gluey and messy, which helped for a while. But just a while. Numerous books and barely-surpressed mutiny around naptime filled a few more hours, as did picking at meals and crabbing about boredom. Throwing them into our Jacuzzi-style tub to play in the “hot pool” brought us thankfully to bedtime.

How long, O Lord, how long?
