mollycat--Aww, sorry to hear you're still feeling cr@ppy! Couldn't you have just taken the day off to recover? I guess you probably caught it from one of your d/c kids, so it doesn't make much sense to stay away from them, huh? I remember my mom's kids were always sharing colds--my mom always took so many vitamins, tho, she was rarely ever sick. Hope you feel better soon, any chance you can rest while the kids are napping?
Don't give up yet for this month--I'm AF can't break thru my force field!!
Jen - your force field is still in place (so far). Thought about taking the day off and if I wasn't having this new parent interview this morning I probably would have. But you're right, I probably caught it off one of the kids, i've had one with runny nose for a couple of months and another who has had a cold on and off for a few weeks (at the moment he's clear). I dose up on vitamins all the time as well and hardly ever get sick, this is about as bad as it gets, at least there's no headache, just runny nose and slightly sore and gaggy throat. My voice is so crackly so i'll have to try not to talk much today. I rarely (touch wood) get anything else that goes around. We also eat heaps of garlic so that keeps colds at bay as well. Don't know how much rest time i'll get - i tried yesterday and then the phone wouldn't stop ringing. At least i'm down to 4 kids today, one of their mums is sick with the flu and she's keeping her dd at home (she also works in child care - but in a centre with babies).
I've just put my little one in bed, so hopefully he will wake up happier - he wasn't very happy that mum left him this morning, although I did get him to stop crying and we read books for a while.
Rachel - I'll put the kettle on and share a biscuit with you and Jen
