The year of the bug(s)
They say the first year your child enters nursery school and is around other kids is when all the bugs come home and get everyone throughout the house sick – although, come to think of it, all of my friends who have kids no matter the age are sick all the time – trading bacterial infections, viruses, common colds, and other horrors that kids seem to get so much of (read: hand, foot and mouth). So here we are at Carnival time and we have missed two of my favorite parades.
And right now the whole right side of my head is about to explode and nothing seems to be able to make this any easier – so ear go ahead and explode, head go ahead and pound, throat go ahead and be stripped bare, for tis the season of bugs and building immunities.
I for one, am sick of it, so to speak.
