In the middle of the night

I was so excited to have Evan start school last week. But I forgot one important thing--when Ev is in school, he brings home every germ in the tri-state area. This weekend, he developed a runny nose. Nothing serious, no fever, more annoying than dangerous....until his brother gets it.

And of course his brother will get it, what with all the hugging and kissing and not covering our mouths when we cough. So here I am, at 2 am, with Grady congested and needing Mommy to suck out his nose every few minutes. He won't sleep because he can't breathe, which means I can't sleep either. It's going to be a long night.

(It figures that there's nothing good on tv either. I just can't get into the Fresh Prince marathon. Wishing I had taped some Flip This House episodes or something....)
