dear nurse ...

Yes, yes ... I'm a forgetful/negligent/waffle-headed mother!

Because of the snow day (and subsequent contraction of said 8th grader's germs!), I've been operating with less "cylinders" than normal! Middle son was unfortunately struck with a most obnoxious little virus that brought on a low grade fever (for about a day) and proceeded to produce the most prolific amounts of head congestion known to man (he sounded quite miserable/disgusting!).

Thankfully we did get that snow day because it went a long way in helping him recover from the "fungus" (unfortunately, he still has a rather juicy, albeit productive, cough).

Double unfortunate, it appears that I, myself, have contracted some residuals of this funk and am seriously questioning why adults even bother messing with germ-carrying progeny at all!

*sigh

Well, that's it in a nutshell. I hope this little missive provides you with the necessary information!
Cheers!
