I can tell school has started!

I know I shouldn't be suprised, but already the germs are spreading! First, my pre k son was sick over the weekend, and now my second grader has been home for two days, and now I am feeling like I am getting it. It just seems like it is starting early this year. For goodness sake, it is 90 outside still- I hope this isn't the start of a long school year.

I feel for you! It never fails- ever since preschool, DD has come down with a cold every fall, about a week after school starts. Of course, she feels sick for about 2 days, and I go down for a week with it!!

We are all using Zicam until our trip to WDW- we don't want to got anything in the next week or so.

I got sick the first week of school this year. I am in the band and there was something going around the band. We have been around eachother since the end of july/ beginning of August, which means we, the band, have basically been in school for about a month and a half when school actually started.

We are having a horrible year for allergies, no colds yet. DS is miserable even with taking meds. I am taking allergy meds this year and I have NEVER taken them before, but oh boy are they bad. On one pollen website I went to we had a pollen rating of 11.4 on a 10 point scale!

I used to hold off on getting sick until around November. But this is my first year of college. The first morning I was here I woke up with a head cold. It lasted a week. I was ok for about a week, and then got sick with some other bug for about a week. I've been ok for a week and a half or so. My temperature is now rising as I type this, and I'm starting to feel lousy again. I know for a fact that there's a virus going around campus, one that I haven't gotten yet; I'm just hoping that this isn't that.
