Just stopped by for a quick germ swap.

Patrick was home just long enough for the whole family to exchange germs, now he's back in Nova Scotia, and we're all sick as dogs. Our bathroom looks like a pharmacy at the moment. There is Infant Tylenol for Alia's fever, Children's Motrin for Quin, Dimetapp Cold drops for both of them, I have two different types of Benylin on the go for me, we have Cepacol in liquid form and lozenge form, and last but not least Vicks Vapo-rub....which Patrick likes to smear all up inside his nose....YUCK! Really, I think we'd be better off if I just let myself go with the hibernation instinct and we locked ourselves in the house all winter. And to all the well meaning old ladies at the grocery store...I know my kids are cute, but stop sticking your dirty hands and germy breath into their faces. We spread enough germs amongst ourselves without some stranger adding theirs into the mix!
