AAARGH!! I can never have a "normal" cold. When the rest of my family gets the sniffles...I get the constant sneezes. When they get a mild cough, I get bronchitis. So this year I expected something funky, but never did I imagine HOW funky my cold could be.
My 3 year old got it first: Fever and a slight cough. She loves me so much, she coughed in my mouth ensuring I would share her misery (evil WENCH!). My husband got it next. He has a runny nose (lucky sod). I have had this cold for 3 days now: runny nose, cough, fever, headaches, AND...dizziness. My eyes REFUSE to uncross! Even if I concentrate real hard and scrunch up my face...there are still 2-4 of everything. And if that weren't bad enough, I'm also leaning when I walk. Husband said I'm the perpetual 45 degree angle. I think I'm the Leaning Tower of Pissiness. So when I need to see (HA!) I have to hold one eye shut. Have you ever tried to just close one eye...all day long? You can't...it will open. You have to HOLD the danged thing shut, and after a few hours of this ya get "weepy eye" and when you reach to grab a tissue, *SNAP* open comes the eye and in comes the nausea as the 4 chairs and 2 computers dance in and out of your vision.
Needless to say I am NOT a happy camper. I've never HEARD of someone going crosseyed from a cold. But now that it's happened, it's gonna happen EVERY time I get sick. I can "see" it coming (haha!)

P.S. Do you have any IDEA how hard it is to "do a quick combine" while crosseyed?!?!

She's a very loving child that gives me lots of "kissins" and I always thank her, this time she just happened to cough as I opened my mouth. Pure innocence =)
