snot nosed kids

Jon left today for Chicago for a week. Courtney started her runny nose on Saturday, Sydney started hers yesterday, Samantha was coughing...why oh why do they have to have tp do this everytime he leaves?? Makes it so hard. I cant put them in any of the childcare places (the gym and the grocery store) for a little me time. Oh well at least the weather has cooled off and we can play outside. I bet I will be going around the block a dozen or so times this week with the kids on their bikes!
