sick again

well, it seems i did jinx it. in fact we're all having a crap time as paul has bronchitis, percy seems to have a dose of conjunctivits plus a general cold/miserable feeling, and i'm coughing up bits of lung here and there too. tho according to the doc no bronchitis for me.
i can't explain how over being sick i am. people did say the first 6-24 months of child care is marked by sickness as bub picks up everything from the other snotty mongrels at day care and dutifully tromps it home. i'd just really like to feel well enough to get back on track with life. my time with percy is poor quality as we just are too miserable to enjoy each others company and playing, my work is suffering as i'm not there much and feel too awful to concentrate when i am, and the house is hideous! i actually got a load of washing in the machine today because otherwise we'd be picking out the dirty stuff to give it a "sniff test" to see what could be worn again!
arrrggghhhh!!
can't last forever, hey? well it sure feels like it is!


[p.s. little bit of personal info here so skip it if you don't need to know my bodily functions... i can't emphasise enough for everyone (including men) to do pelvic floor exercises! coughing hard enough to feel your lungs rattle loose also causes me to occasionally pee myself. i had a couple of internal vaginal tears when percy was born and tho these were stitched up and apparently healed well i'm convinced muscles are a bit looser than they used to be. so do your exercises- before and after birth and anytime in between!]
