The sickness is coming out of my eyes.

OK, so I know someone who was sick a few years ago, and upon getting over her virus/ cold/ whatever it was, said, "I was so sick that the sickness was coming out of my eyes." I'm not kidding. She really said that.

Well, I laughed then and I laugh now, although, I do feel bad for laughing, because what goes around comes around, and now...

I'm sick (although nothing is coming out of my eyes except sad little tears).

Actually, we all are/were. Jack is doing better. He had a mental breakdown of sorts on sunday, physically flipping out (as in physically uncontrollable) and crying for us to help him. We were scared out of our minds... he had never behaved like this and we had no idea what was wrong with him. We took him to the emergency clinic who verified two very bad ear infections. I had been scared that he was in pain from his cyst or was having some kind of major sudden health issue... But, no, just ear infections. He's been on antibiotics ever since and is slowly improving.

Keith and I also have some kind of upper respiratory nightmare. He seems to be getting better, and I seem to be getting worse. I am going to the doctor tomorrow because I am starting to worry that I might end up with bronchitis or pneumonia if I don't get this taken care of.

Anyway... so that's where we're at.

Jack hopefully is returning to "school" tomorrow.

My last day of work was today, I start my new job on Thursday... hopefully I won't be feeling like I'm going to die by Thursday.

Keith also had some kind of freak "I've got something in my eye and I just can't get it out" thing last night, which rounded out the day nicely. We now think it was some kind of wayward deoderant glob or something. That would not feel good, so I definitely felt bad for Keith.

And so the anticipated long string of colds/ illnesses from having a child in day care officially begins. Not cool.
