Welcome to my world. Won't you come on in?

Maddie was awake all last night coughing her poor little heart out. It's the same cough I had (and unfortunately still have -- I'm told having it last at least 3-4 weeks isn't uncommon,) where you cough so much you can barely catch your breath.

Josie woke up this morning complaining of a sore throat and then promptly threw up on me. She's lying here next to me surrounded by towels with a little bucket within reach.

It looks like both girls have what I have/did have. Unfortunately, in my case, it was both the sinus infection/bronchitis thing and the stomach flu at the same time. According to our pediatrician, both are going around right now. I'm really hoping the girls can keep up their routine of being complete opposites of one another, and that neither will get what the other one has. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Between all the TV they watched while I was sick, plus all the TV they'll be watching the next couple of days, I'm sure their little brains will be fried.

And don't even bother telling me about alternatives to TV-watching while they're sick. When your baby throws up and immediately asks for "Do-wa the Explo-wa" before the vomit has even been wiped from her face... well, you just give her what she wants.
