Flu bug.
December 5, 2006
Question: Which is worse? Being sick, or taking care of others who are sick?
Answer: Me with bhroncitus AND my two kids are taking turns succumbing to the flu bug (read=throwing up all over mommy).
Yesterday was one of those days–miserable. Let me capitalize that: MISERABLE. Both boys were ill, and I was trying to tend to them, bring them juice and crackers, get prescriptions filled, all while scuffling about in my robe with a headache and hacking cough. By 2:00p.m., I gave up thinking I’d get out of the robe and threw in the towel. I threw in lots of towels–into the washing machine. Towels, bed sheets, pillowcases, pajamas…the mountains of laundry that pile up when kids are sick.
Today was much better. I managed to get dressed, both boys were back to their typical good health, and normalcy ensued. I caught up on the laundry, cleaned up the multiple juice cups, put away the Pedialyte and Tylenol.
We’ve squashed the bug for now.
