Get the feedSick of this
Friday, Aug 28th 2009
My husband David got the H1N1 flu last Tuesday, and today is finally feeling like himself again. In the meantime, my daughter Camille got it. This began a week-long battle against germs. Armed only with Lysol, bleach, and the ability to quarantine, my son Austin and I lived upstairs while David and Camille lived in what they affectionately called "Fort Influenza."
It's completely shut us down. We've had to cancel flights, speeches, pool parties, and even a murder mystery party where you go as a character. In fact, the entire town is stricken with this swine flu -- our school even shut down for three days.
Today, however, is a new day. Finally, we were going to get up, go swimming at a friend's house, and be reunited with friends.
But when Austin came down the stairs this morning? "My throat hurts."
Sigh... So I unpacked the swim bag and got out the Tylenol.
I'm the only one (so far!) who hasn't gotten ill. But I'm quite sick of this!
