UGH!  It all started last week with Cydney and Skylar.  Stuffy noses, achy bodies and pounding heads.  A few days later, Abi awoke with her throat on fire.  Strep.   This morning?  Abi now has the stuffy/runny nose, pounding head while Cydney, Skylar and I all have the firey throat/achy body/pounding head thing going on.  Perfect day for homemade soup.
