Autumnal Ailments

By Kay Krhin  

Sick kids. We've had 'em.I was recently homefor a long four day weekendto nurture the house of sleeve-coughers.  

There were a varietyof ailments that evolved in to another grab bag of illnesses. Fortunately no H1N1 - but just about everything else.  

Let's see there's been a mysterious rash, the croup, the crud, sniffles,fevers,bronchitis,headaches, general malaise,random expectorating, a sore throat, some big molars breaking through, thenthrow in a nasty ear infection for good measure.  


I feel awful that they feel lousy but I stillfeel a kind of guilty pleasure when they are sick.  

They slow down.  

They sleep in a littlelonger.  

Theysnuggle more.
