Of colds and runny noses.

If you have been reading around here for a while, as in before Miss Pear's heart surgery, you know that I love a good deal, and when I see one I stock up. Plus, you know that I am a big believer in "Always be prepared." It takes a lot of the chaos and fear out of life.

A couple weeks ago we went through the medicine cabinets tossing expired stuff, but somehow with the craziness I did not refill and replace. I did not even make a list of what to look for in the sales fliers.

Wednesday Miss Pear got sick with a very bad cold. And I had no cough syrup and no vaporizer medicine. Therefore, at 6:15 PM, the worst possible time to go to CVS around here, I was at CVS buying cough syrup, vaporizer medicine and saline drops. At least the cough syrup was on sale, and I got the generic vaporizer medicine and saline drops.

Note to self: RESTOCK MEDICINE CABINET! And start watching for Children's Benedryl sale!

So I learned my lesson on that score...again.

During the night Baby got sick with the same cold! While she is teething!

And now I have 2 vaporizers going in both rooms. Lesson is, while you are stocking your medicine cabinet watch for a sale on vaporizers, apparently you really do need one for each child's room, or each room of children, however you do it.

Fortunately, I learned that lesson last year.

I hope they are both getting better (or already better) and that you are getting the rest you need!
