Radar On!

There goes my Mother of the Year Award again! Re-Pete had a fever night before last so we stayed home, and since Pete had been sneezing something like 25 times an hour, I decided to keep her home too. Hubba talked me into going to the doctor. For a cold, I thought? What a waste of a co-pay and the doc's time. But to make him happy I took them both. But really thought I was wasting time and money.
Turns out, Pete has Strep and Re-Pete has the virus that causes Croup (at her age she is unlikely to get croup, it's more likely she would get laryngitis, as evidenced by her hoarseness). Damn. I'm glad there's at least one of us with our parent radar on this week. Thanks, honey.
