Allergies, Colds, the Flu....Oh My!

If one were to come to my house right now you would think it was the middle of winter sickness. But then you would realize that it was over 105 degrees outside and July. So why are we sick?

That would be because of our petri dishes, or germ factories as we tend to call them. Kids + daycare = sickness for the whole house.

Since March here is how it has gone:

Brennan = walking pneumonia 3 times, pink eye once, allergies, colds, and the occasional vomiting for no reason

Kaidynce = walking pneumonia once, double ear infection once, a single ear infection, pink eye, allergies, colds, infection of her girly parts, and the occasional vomiting for no reason

Aaron = allergic reaction to Levaquin, allergic tests resulting in allergy to animals, sinus infection, allergies, colds, and the occasional vomiting we blame on the germ factories named above

Chevonne = sinus infection due to extreme drainage from allergies and the stomach flu - and mine was all in the past month.

While I love the daycare environment for the kids and the social networking that they are getting (btw - they both have best friends), I have to wonder some days why I put myself through this constant state of being SICK!

Oh yeah, because I have to maintain a job for my sanity........I know I would not survive as a stay at home mom!
