Could you pass the germs please?

Everyone's been sick around the Scearbo house except the dog. Strep, virus, ear infections, you name it.

When the first kid gets sick you have this confidence; you think to yourself "what with my new pack of lysol wipes and obsessive handwashing, this will be the end of it!". Off to the Dr. you go, $30 and 4 hours later, you're back from CVS and its smooth and quiet video game playing from there for the sicko; (the whining usually goes down a couple hours after the CVS visit).

Order is restored and then the next one goes down. I swear the school nurse has me on speed-dial. You know she's calling because she's one of only a few people who call my home phone (which I ignore while I'm working), then my work number, then my cell.  Its as if she's saying yup its me, come and get 'em - you can't hide!  Back to the Dr and to CVS - KA-CHING! $30. Oh and I always forget to call the after school program that my kids are going to be out. $5 penalty KA-CHING!
