Headache City!

Today is Thursday...I have had a raging headache ALL week now. Last week I suffered from a cold...at least I think that is what it was...It all started Mother's Day weekend...we went to Galveston and our friends that stayed with us, Robyn and Greg, were both sick. They had the cough, runny nose, and Robyn had sad she had fever the day before they came...for some reason I always thought that once you break your fever you are no longer contagious...I don't know where I got that idea, but obviously it must be wrong. Before we left on Sunday, Landry and JR both seemed to be coming down with it. By the grace of God I was able to stay away from it. By the following Saturday, JR was starting to get better, but Logan was just coming down with it....and we were once again traveling for my sister's graduation. Half way through the day I started to feel it coming on as well. We stayed the night with Jason, Lisa, and Davin...Landry was still sick at the time, with the worst case of mucous I have ever seen! yuck. Logan's was clear for the most part, which I took to mean that he was still getting over it. The entire week, Logan and Landry were both snotty. I continued to give them cold and allergy medicine, and I took the adult form. JR was better, but I was constantly blowing my nose and wiping snot off the kids. I was finally starting to recover, Logan was getting better...but Landry was still having nasty green snot. Turns out, Lisa got sick with the crud right after we left...oops! This past weekend Jason, Lisa, Davin, and Brittany all came to stay with us. It seemed that I was 95% recovered, Lisa was about 80% recovered, everyone else was healthy...except Landry. I should mention that Logan still had clear snot...
Finally this Monday, Landry's mucous turned clear, but it is still there - as is Logan's, which makes me wonder if there is some sort of allergy in the air. I haven't slept through the night since Monday because I have had this cough. My throat is not sore or scratchy...nothing, and I hardly cough at all during the day...only at night - and only after I have fallen asleep. The other thing is that I have had a headache since Monday...I have all kinds of other things going on....but geez...this has been a two week progression from one ailment to the next. I am just ready to feel normal again. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
