We're falling apart

I'm waiting for 4 ibuprofen to kick in and squash these cramps. Claire is on the couch with a weird rash of hives on her arms, neck and chest. Benadryl doesn't seem to be doing anything. Harris is in there with her because he had diarrhea. So did one of Sarah's kids who I watched today. Whatever germs are circling our family, please back off. It's the last week of school, and these poor kids want to have fun.

Charlotte was prepped and primed for her AR party at school today. She took a soccer ball - now those boys better not give her a hard time about playing, the creeps. Tomorrow is awards and her friend is coming to play after school, and I would love the house to be sick-free so we don't have to cancel. It means a lot to her, and this little girl is moving away in a couple of weeks so they won't have much time together.

Andy's car broke down last week.  Again.  Argh argh argh.

That's all the complaining I have to do today. I will let Gabe get back on pbskids.org because he keeps hovering around me like a mosquito waiting for me to get off the computer.

UPDATE:
Doctor said it's probably viral. Boo.

Sorry about all the sickies. Hope y'all are feeling well soon.

Did she have cold-like symptoms a few days ago? Google "5th desease"
I hope everyone recovers soon, especially you.

Is Claire feeling better today? Is Charlotte's friend going to be able to come over? Did Char show those boys what's what on the playground yesterday? Did Gabe stop being a "neusence"? That's my word verification P.S.

Sarah: No. No. I don't know. Yes. Excellent word verification.

Claire is worse. It's not fifth's as far as I can tell b/c no cold symptoms at all. The doctor didn't name the rash, just called it virus and left it at that.
