For the past two weeks my family and I have had what I call "the yuckas", which really is as accurate a name as any other for this particular ailment. The yuckas start with a little dribbly nose that can easily be dismissed as seasonal allergies.
Maybe spring is beginning to bud, I always think.
But then by day three or four everyone starts feeling pretty run down and fever's begin to spike. Then before you know it we're spending half the day in our jammies watching Spongebob and nursing bottles of Robitussin like its liquid candy.
And It's not like I'm a big baby or something. I can handle a cold like any other normal person,
but this junk doesn't want to go away!
By day six and seven I'm so sick of wiping thick snot from the kids' faces and listening to their raspy little whines I could just strangle myself.
But alas, there does seem to be an end in sight. We're going on day twelve or something like that and the runny noses seem to be slowing down, coughs are settling, and we're all slowly emerging from our cave little by little.
If you do come into your own case of the yuckas I suggest Mucinex. Its a life saver.The humidifier's seem to be helping the cough's a lot too. The kids went from those dry "croopy" sounding coughs a week ago to a nice wet cough within one day. (Wet cough's are better than dry. I'm not being sarcastic here).
And hang in there spring is almost here!!
