Poor Sick Baby

Poor Lilly, she rarely gets sick, but when she does...whoa!
My friend Tania and I thought we would do something nice for our girls and take them to a local indoor playground to escape the tedium of being stuck inside our own homes due to inclimate weather. Little did we realize at the time, the indoor playground was a popular place to take children with the plague. We both shuttered every time we heard one of the other hundred children cough or sneeze, and finally decided to call it a day when we saw a 'suspicion of pox'. The girls did have a good time though, and we were all four happy with our outing and content to escape with our lives. Only later did I discover that poor Lilly had been infected. She had the cold that seemed to never end and I was beginning to worry that she wouldn't be better by the time we left for Key West. And then, just when I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel and the little nose ceased to run...the cough started, and to top that off...I realized I was getting sick. But, not to worry, after the purchase of a elephant shaped humidifier, extra Kleenexes, saline drops and Vaseline for the chapped nose, we are all better and have vowed never again to return to the indoor leper colony without clorox, lysol, hand sanitizer, surgical masks and hazmat suits.
Graham crackers, juice, blankie and Tinkerbell cures just about anything.

  1. Yeah i was telling N about the plagued children and while i/we may have higher standards of hygiene...it was just not good! glad you are doing a little better and hopefully some warm weather and time with Papaw and Nani (sp?) will cure it all together. Have fun, Tania

  2. Sorry Lilly got caught at the sharefest of germs. Those places lure in unsuspecting children with playground equipment then release the viruses. Key West should take care of any lingering symptoms. Have a great time!!!
