Down for the count

Bing decided to bring home a present from Chicago: a nasty cold.

Liv and I both caught it almost immediately, so we are all tucked in our beds. This sounds almost cozy, but it is not really. Bing is missing parent-teacher conferences (a huge no-no unless one is sick as a dog, which she is), I am laying in bed thinking about all the work that is piling up at the office and poor Liv, she was finally back at school full time after a bout with mono and now is officially knocked off of her feet again.

The sun is shining brilliantly and the air feels like Spring but, alas, none of us can smell it.

So, back when we all find our sea legs...

I hope you all feel better soon! I've been fighting a cold all week with Zicam. I think the Zicam is working.

Sending warmest healing thoughts to all of you. There is nothing worse than being sick at the same time as your partner because no one is able to take care of anyone. When that happens here, we entertain ourselves with competitive coughing:

"You think that's good? Watch THIS."

Oh you poor little family. I hope you feel much better soon but, in my experience at least, it takes 10 days to get over a cold, no matter how much vitamin C you take. I hope that Liv's doesn't turn into pneumonia - you'll need to keep a close eye on her Maria. I'm sending lots of hugs to keep you warm. xx
