"Just a Cold!!!"

How many times have I heard those words? "Just a Cold!" It might mean one thing to some people, but to me....it means another person shaking their head at me.
"Hi, my name is Corey, and I avoid GERMS!" yes....a germophobe...or a germ freak, or a paranoid person. Yep, that is me!
I have always been a worrier....but not so much as I am now that I have Sugar Bear. I always want to protect her from everything. I do my best to be reasonable. Amazingly enough I do a pretty good job keeping Sugar Bear away from the Doctor's office.
It is my method that drives people nuts. I simply won't take my daughter anywhere when I know someone is sick. I have missed several family get togethers because of it. I know it upsets people, and they shake their head at me and say, "It is just a cold!"
"Just a cold" leads to this....
-Sugar Bear gets sick
-I miss work
-none of us sleep
-I get sick
-I miss work
-I don't sleep
-ugh......
so "just a cold"....really isn't "just", is it? I hate colds. I am a whiny sick person. We are sick right now...so yes...this is my way of whining. We had a great winter with possibly one illness....but this one caught us off guard. I don't even know where we got it.
So yes...."just a cold!" Shake your head at me....I don't care. I would give anything to NOT have this cold right now!
One good thing about me....I won't pass you my cold. I stay home. If I don't want yours.....I won't give you mine! Golden rule! tee hee
You can laugh now! "just a cold!".....Whatever!
