Plague and Contagion

I'm sorry about the icon - it's a bit "wrong", but I don't have, nor can I find, a "flu buggy" type icon - mind you, as I type this, I do feel a bit like death.

I haven't slept very well and , although this is being typed at around 07.00 am UK time, I have already been awake for well over an hour.

As I said earlier in the week, the kids have been off for most of the week with the worst Coughs' and Colds that they have had; if not in a long time, the worst colds ever. Laura has been coughing the badly that she has made herself sick, and Liam has just coughed, coughed, coughed.

Although they are starting to get better, they still aren't right, they are still coughing.

Liam was supposed to be in a Football tournament on Bank Holiday Monday, but because of the state he has been in, he has been unable to attend any of the training sessions. He looks tired and drawn. So we have had to ring the team manager up and tell him that Liam is not available. It will put the team at a disadvantage - after all he is number one goalkeeper. But he's still a young lad (just turned 12) and getting over illness is more important at this point than one of four summer tournaments.

Laura, for once I suppose, as come off even worse. She got caught up in coughing spasms that ended up in flem and vomit in most cases. Not like her at all. My normally bouncing,happy "Baby" (and she'll love that at a grown up 7), is a sad, dejected bundle, hiding under a duvet on the settee. Yesterday was the first time, in several days, that she actually wanted to do ANYTHING.

Me and "She who must be obeyed"?

As usual, we are getting it second hand.

Not bad enough that I have had Sinus's trouble in the last month, but it feels a little like "here we go again".My ears feel full of fluid. Throat is dry and sore. Chest like wise.

What with this, and the "wonderful" weather we have had this spring (I'm starting to feel like a goldfish) I'm feeling a little fed up to say the least.
