Sore throat

Saturday night Violet started complaining of a sore throat. We'd been out snowshoeing in the cold dry air, so I figured it was probably from that. Sunday morning it was better. We had her stay in though (our high was never over 0, so she didn't need to be out in that cold). But by bedtime she had spiraled downhill. She had a low fever, nothing to be too concerned about. Tucked her into bed.

This morning she got up looking and feeling miserable. Fever of 101.5. Sore throat. Her eyes were so dark, it looked like she had heavy eye makeup on. She's not going to book club. She was pretty disappointed until I reminded her that she wouldn't really enjoy it feeling so lousy. And all the things the boys do that annoy her when she's feeling good, would be a thousand times worse feeling bad. That did it. She tucked herself into bed with a book.

Hope Violet feels better soon!
Tyler is sick with a bad head cold. He says there is a lot of sickness going through campus and he saw a lot of kids yesterday that looked like zombies.

This horrible bug! It sounds very much like the same thing that's going around where I am, too.

Lots of kids out sick, in fact we've had a few who were out for an entire week.

My coworker was out for a week, my hubby was down for a week... not a pleasant thing.

Be prepared for a lingering cough, if it's the same thing.
Hope she feels lots better soon, doesn't she have cookies to deliver?
