five weeks is W.A.Y. too long to be sick

but in this house, that is just what is happening. Middle and Youngest (and the other three of us to a lesser extent) have been sick since January 6th. Enough already!! Middle woke up with a temp of 101.4 under her arm. Her cough is horrible. Youngest is right behind her. Both have an appt. with the Nurse Practioner today. I hope they have something treatable rather than just a bad cold because we need some rest. They are both up coughing all night and that is WITH the meds. Gracious. I am O.V.E.R. it - puking, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, runny noses, all of it. GO AWAY, GERMS!!!
