The Bishop Scourge

What have we been up to you ask? (What's that? You didn't ask. Oh, well too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway...) We've been sick. It all started with Kaden last Thursday. He came down with a nasty fever and cough and it took him until Monday to feel better. Tye followed him a day and a half later and is finally back to his stubborn self today. Nate came down with it Sunday and is finally feeling a little better today as well. Rachel came down with it Monday and has missed all of school this week. She scared us with a very high fever, but we were able to get it under control without any problems. Thank goodness! Haley also came down with it Monday, but hasn't let it slow her down much. I started to feel it coming on yesterday and today feel pretty miserable. I managed to only get a fever, sore throat and head ache while everyone else is hacking up a lung or two.

My countertop has turned into an over-the-counter pharmacy. (This isn't even all of it.) I even have to write down when and what medications I've given to whom. 2 teaspoons, 3/4 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon.... every 4 hours, every 6 hours, every 8 hours....

What a week! So, ask me how I am now and I'll let you know that I am tired, I don't feel good and that's why I look like crap. Yay! I finally have a good reason.
