The worst thing that I as a mother seem to face when it comes to her little ones is sickness and it seems to have found it's way into our house, already.

Tink has been dealing with a slight cold for the last week or so. Mostly just sniffles but he's been crouping since Friday night off and on, mostly at night. I hate hearing him sound like a seal. It pains me to see that he's hurting and not feeling well, knowing I can't do anything to make it feel better and goodness knows I've tried.

I bought him some decongestant on Saturday but it's a chore to get him to take it, but who can blame him? I can't even stand to take most medicines cause they're eeeuck. Dh and I pinned hiim down last night to give him some. It's been helping some but it seems to wear off too soon and then it's pinning time again.

I bought him so new stuff tonight, Mucinex for children which claims several times on the box to be great tasting. Um, yeah, not. I smelled it and about gagged, knew it would be an issue to get it down his throat but somehow I did and he fell asleep shortly thereafter.

Now Bman has been snotting and coughing a little. Not too bad but bad enough to make me reconsider sending him to preschool this morning. He starting coughing pretty good but then he calmed down and I didn't hear anymore on the way to school. He was still snotting when I picked him up after work, so I gave him a dose of the medicine when we got home and I thought he was going to throw up on me. Not a good thing, since I hate that smell and probably would have joined him.

Now they are both laying in bed with a Vicks vapor plug in going in their room, so I'm hoping that tomorrow morning when they get up they'll be feeling a whole lot better. Now for that stupid hot weather to go away so I can enjoy fall again......
