The ‘Back-to-School’ Cold

With three kids in school and a teacher wife, there’s one thing about the ‘Back-to-School’ season that I can count on, and that’s the ‘Back-to-School’ cold. Just thinking of the swirl of friendly new germs being brought home each day in the last week from Jenny’s students and the kids’ classmates is enough to make me reach for a kleenex. It hit Jenny first, and then moved to me. It really only slowed her down for a day, she soldiers on, but mine has moved from my throat to my head which now feels about ready to explode. The only question is, can I ride the cold out, or will it take root and grow into the dreaded sinus infection! I hope not.
