Cough, Sniff, Cough

I hate it when people send their sick kids to school, so when I reread my previous post I thought I better clarify about my brag of sending a coughing germ-infested Thing 1 to school.  She did feel a little better on Wednesday but claimed to be coughing more.  By Thursday she had rallied and was doing much better, and by Friday just had a mild cough.  By Saturday she was pretty much done, but Thing 2 threw up.  If it's not one thing, it's another.  I think Thing 2 had a 24 hour flu thing, she was pretty much recovered with that on Sunday, but then her throat started to hurt, so now we've got to get her (and me) over our head colds by Christmas.  wah!
