These kids have been getting sick enough the past couple weeks that I’m considering putting up a pest tent in the backyard.

Same here. Newbish, after going all winter without getting so much as a case of the sniffles, has gotten sick three times over the last two months.
my daughter has been sick about 12 times since the beginning of the year, not including all the nights she's been awake in agony while teething. On the plus side, the ear tube surgery went perfectly and she no longer is getting ear infections along with everything else
We've been through the exact same thing with our daughter this year (including the ear tubes). She had basically built up a resistance to amoxicillin because she had so many ear infections.
I've gotten so used to functioning on low sleep that when I get like three straight nights (like right now) where I get 7-8 uninterrupted hours, I feel groggy and confused in the morning.
Newbish is allergic to both Amoxicillin and it's usual substitute. Luckily he's only gotten a few ear infections.
I'm also allergic to both. Thankfully, she did not inherit that.
Mrs. Runner has allergies to erythromycin, sulpha, and penicillin. Dang.
It's just wrong for kids to get sick when the weather is finally nice.
Meanwhile, it's baseball week at our house. Yesterday, the jalapeno had a home game (and they came from behind to win!), today is the peperoncino's first t-ball game, tomorrow is another home game for the jalapeno, and Thursday is an away game for the jalapeno.
Oh, how fun. Enjoy!
At the other end of the spectrum, we will have no ballplayers in the house for the first time in over a decade. The HS junior finally turned in his mitt. The three girls all play soccer.
My HS teacher bro in Grinnell complained that he got through the whole school year only to get sick the last two days of school, which of course he can't take off.
i think that year in the preschool built up my immunity. i seem to be the only one that doesn't get sick.
The PR has had a weird flu-ish thing going on for like a week, where she's fine unitl about 6 PM then she gets queasy, a headache, and a 100F+ fever. Then goes to bed at like 8:30 and is dead to the world. Rinse and repeat the next day.
Nice to see that in Devin's second start, he'll benefit from the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station.
To paraphrase "Sean Connery" -- okay Twain, I'll play your game you rogue. Put be down for Max to HR tonight.
I'll pick Eddie
Cruz for me.
I'm on the board of a local charity (Miracle League of CT) that provides recreational and education activities for children with physical or cognitive disabilities. A good example is the rubber-bottomed-wheelchair-friendly ball-park in West Hartford that hosts ball-games every weekend for kids with all sorts of challenges.
Tonight we had our annual fund-raiser Golf Challenge at the Wampanoag Country Club - great weather - great turnout - great results. I manned the registration booth, and also subsequent accounting on the silent auction.
I got to meet one of our charity's biggest contributors - Ted Crew - owns the most Dunkin' Donuts franchises in CT - great guy.
We got to talking and he has spent a lot of time in MN with their Miracle League - Harmon Killebrew was active in its founding and was a very active participant. Ted showed me a recent photo of a fund-raising event he was at with Tony Oliva, his daughter Anita, Killebrew's widow Nita, and Rod Carew.
