Timeline of Events

Here's what last week was like:

1. Chris started feeling sick. He works with disgusting people (certain city employees included) and sometimes the germs follow him home.

2. He passed it along to me. Being sick and taking care of two little ones while your husband works nights is so much fun. Lucky for me, the kids are pretty easy.

3. Rather than wait for me to be healthy, Logan decided it would be a fine time to come down with croup. It only lasted a couple days thanks to the cool-mist vaporizer. Best invention ever.

4. Owen wanted to join in the fun. He came down with a cold while Logan had croup. And to one-up everyone else in the family, he also had a case of impetigo pop up on his knees. I knew it was impetigo right away. My mom used to have a book on common children ailments and illnesses, and I'd read it when I was bored. Yes, I would read medical books for fun when I was young. And because of all that reading, I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to ailments and how to treat them ;)

Luckily we're on our way to being healthy. Everyone is feeling much better and thank goodness the impetigo is gone. Skin irritations give me the heebie-jeebies.
