Cold in the Summer?

Well I promised the kids the other day that I would take them to the pool today. But my cold seems to have gotten worse. A cough now along with a sore throat and now my voice is really gone. I can barely speak above a whisper! What I really want to do is go back to bed and cover up my head and sleep the day away - hoping to feel better when I wake up.....but don't think the kids will go for that one. Alyssa is also not feeling well but am sure she still wants to go to the pool. So I just asked her how she was doing..."Not good" she says. So I aske if she is feeling well enought to go to the pool....."uh-huh"...that's what I thought!
