Epidemic?

It seems like everyone in my area is sick. Particularly the children.

Yesterday, I noticed we were getting low on children's Motrin and had to run to several stores before I could find anything. I got stuck with chewables. The kids weren't thrilled about that, but I had little choice in the matter.

All of the children's cold medicines were taken everywhere else. All of them. I've never seen shelves look so bare since I lived in Memphis and there was almost an inch of snow on the ground and the whole city panicked and raided the stores. There wasn't a gallon of water to be found for miles around. We had to bum toilet paper off of (the ex's) relatives-- no pun intended. And it was that really thin and sandpaper-y kind. I hate that stuff. But I digress.

This lack of cold medicine is disturbing. I feel like we should call in the national guard or something. Maybe get the Center for Disease Control and Prevention up in here.
