Sick of being sick

I have a wonderfully bodacious chest cold. It's so awesome. When I cough I sound like an 85 year old man who has happily smoked for 75 tariffic years. But, if I'm very still and try and focus on not coughing I can keep it up for nearly 10 minutes. So, that's cool I guess.

What's not cool is not being able to do ANYTHING with my boys. I don't want them catching this nastiness so, no kisses, hugs, stories, high-fives, wrestling, hide-and-seek, chase, tag, sword-fights, board games, cuddles, walks, head pats, secrets, or general jackassery.

Aaarrrgghhh...cough, cough, cough..sonofaBLEEP!
