Sleepless nights

It is still winter here in the lowveld and that means one day already hot and the other day still cold with "only" 20 degrees Celsius.
Perfect weather to catch a cold so many people are sick this time a year.
Our family is als affected. Niels started it with a sore throat early this week and he got home sick from school on Tuesday. The next day his brother Dennis joined him with a blocked nose and earaches. Finally on Thursday also Felix got it too.

Now none of them is really very sick, just feeling not so happy . Since this is mostly at night I already had a few nights with little sleep when one or the other was waking up at night crying about soar throats, earaches or just crying in the case of Felix.

So far I'm the only one not affected since Corne now got it as well. It makes me wonder if we mothers have a special immuunsystem preventing us from getting sick while the rest of the family needs caring for.

Niels got back to school today after two days at home and I'm hoping the other two will feel better soon so I can get a good nights sleep.
