Germs, germs, germs

I have a little cold.

Unfortunately, whenever I get any sort of ailment the germs head immediately to my lungs, where they set up residence and initiate long, asthmatic coughing fits.

I pretty  much coughed non-stop all winter.

So, when I had 2 hour-long coughing fits on Tuesday night, I decided a trip to the doctor was necessary.

Go to the DOCTOR!

I dropped the big boy off at school and made an appointment.

Approximately 1 hour later, I received a call from the preschool, Big Boy was weeping in pain, complaining about his ear.

I rushed over there to scoop him up and take him home.

A popsicle and a dose of Tylenol soon indicated that this, too, required a trip to the doctor.

Two trips to two doctors in 1 day. 

Off we sped to the pediatrician.

Now, I'm not going to lie. I bribed them with munchkins.

"There's no way he has an ear infection." I say. "He hasn't even had a fever."

Beloved doc peeks in his ear, "Yep." She says. "He's got an ear infection."

Antibiotics obtained.

A few hours later, I leave two sleeping children with Beloved Miss Kristin and head off to my own doctor.

"I'm mostly fine." I say. "I just can't stop coughing."

She peeks up my nose and makes this face:

Dear God. 
"You have a sinus infection."

Antibiotics obtained.

It's awesome here.
