Cough, Cough, Sneeze

What should have been a relaxing week after working hard to finish a manuscript has turned into hell. Kids are sick, husband is sick, and now I am sick. A cold wouldn't be so bad, but it's one of those that whenever I blow my nose I cough uncontrollably. I'm losing my voice (not a bad thing, if you ask my husband) and my throat hurts. I'm hoping this won't take more than this week to get over, because I can't afford to be sick any longer. Too much to do. Especially since I've been slacking on the Christmas tree. Hey, at least the rest of the decorations are taken care of. *sigh* And Rena, sincerely, I'm trying to get to those edits. Really.
