For the past 3 weeks our family has been sick.  Apparently our area has two different flu viruses going around and, lucky us, we got both.  We hadn't even finished recouperating from the first round when the second one hit.  And we even had some stomach thing in between.  I'm figuring we're good for quite some time now!!! 

      Somehow, I missed out on the first round but got hit pretty hard with the second.  I hate being sick.  When I get sick, I GET SICK.  Our life stops while the children have to manage the house and take care of me.  I've always suffered with bronchitis and often get pneumonia when I get sick.  Fortunately I didn't get pneumonia this time but I did manage to get mammoth cold sores on and inside (yes inside!!) my nose and mouth.  The children cringe when they look at me.  They are very painful!!  But hey, at least I'm able to get out of bed now. 

     The children have, at their daddy's request, been scrubbing and scouring the house in efforts to rid ourselves of all the flu germs.  Soon I will have the strength to help out!!
