OFF KLTR!

Couch Bed for Two

So Lauren has been sick for about a week now.  And Keira has been sick since Thursday.  Both girls have had two immune-boosts from the lovely Dr. Maya.  Their coughs just won’t quit!!  So today, we started the day with a couch bed for two.  Keira used to L – O – V – E to be stay home from school and spend the day on her couch bed when we lived in Sharon.  But that meant unlimited TV!!  Now that we don’t have a TV…the couch bed loses much of its appeal.  In fact, she lasts like 30 minutes!  She’s also not down-and-out sick.  Just sick enough, with a nasty enough cold, that she needs to stay home and rest.  She even took a nap this afternoon!  Lauren, however, did not nap…just rested for an hour, but she can hold out against sleep like nobody I know (’til 3pm when she falls asleep standing up on occasion).

So to the point of my post.  We found a delicious all-natural cough drop today that both girls LOVED and reported that it really helped their aching throats!  It’s by A. Vogel and is called Soothing Pine Cough Drops.  It has a delicious honey center.  On-line you can find them for around $5.00 a package, but Cambridge Naturals, where you really pay for their helpful staff and convenient Porter Square location, charges $6.99 a package.  There are only 18 in a package!  But let’s face it, we’ll do pretty much anything to comfort our sick kids!  Stay healthy!!
