Mike is sort of recovering from a bad round of bronchitis, and I am sort of fending off the same bronchitis, but it's still an open question for both of us as to whether a pile of augmentin will be needed soon (Mike has already gone through a round of amoxycillin and a z-pack). We're both walking around the house clutching our identical red albuterol inhalers and periodically coughing up a lung.  Charlie is healthy, hooray, but he gets upset whenever either of us coughs.  This gets us a lot of free hugs from him, but also means he is touchy and cranky.  He expressed this by staying up fussin' and fightin' for 2 hours after going to bed, with lots of sitting on Mommy and resting his eyes, but refusing to sleep.  He finally went to sleep around 9, I went to sleep around 10, and then got paged 3 times from work with FYI messages about a system that isn't my problem (since I'm part of the incident response team, I get FYIs until 11 pm regardless. Grr.)

Then this morning he didn't want to put on pants, and expressed this by smacking and biting us.  We finally stuck the TV on so we could get him dressed while he was in a choo-choo-video induced trance.  

So, the stuff I was planning to do last night didn't get done; I was an hour late to work this morning, and I feel like shit.  I'm sure today will be super productive.

I have nothing but sympathy and a link to this awesome icon that someone on dot_gimp_snark uses:

Apparently, people who ACTUALLY have illnesses this this is funny. As opposed to drive-by healthy assholes who gasp and clutch their pearls in horror.

HAH that's awesome. I love the glowing eyes. Mike will love it, too--his mom's yearlong medical drama is muchly diabetes-exacerbated.
