WOW!

We have been ill. We manged to contract some kind of flu. I don't think it is H1N1 because it was not a severe fever like flu with throwing up and diarreha. Just a coughing, congested, my whole body hurts like there is no tomorrow kinda flu.

We have been basically quarantined in the house for the past 7 days. oy!

My poor husband doesn't know what to do he is torn between taking care of us and wanted to get as far away from us as possible so he doesn't catch it. I think he has done well. he says he's not 100% but I think that's just because he was so worried about getting sick. You know men are like that. They can manufacture symptoms out of thin air to suit their circumstances.

So the girl had it first and she is now boogeying her butt to backyardigans, I had it second and I think I might be able to tackle the mountain of laundry waiting for me. They boy however was the last to get it and I'm sure still has one more day of feeling crappy and coughing his insides out to go before he will feel better. Although today he was lucky not to wake up with a headache so maybe he will make a faster recovery.

it was a week of lots of t.v., blankets, chicken noodle soup, and crabbiness. Lots of unfinished craft projects as we just ran out of energy half way through.

But today it is crisp and cold we had a little dusting of snow and the sun is shining brightly, so we will bundle up and try to get out for a half hour or so.

Hoping to give the boy a hot steamy bath to help loosen his congestion.

I also have to make it out to Michaels at some point this weekend as we are almost out of PAINT and this is not a good place to be in my creative household.

Take care everyone and do what you can to avoid the flu this season. this was by far not the worst case scenario but it was not walk in the park either.
