Whoo Hoo its the Flu!!

This weekend has been something else. Friday Cody stayed home from school running a fever, aches, pains, sore throat.....etc. I came home for lunch to check on him and we wound up going to the doctor to get him looked over. The doc said he had the flu and an middle ear infection and that was only the beginning. Saturday he was the fever had broke for him so I went running around for a bit doing some shopping and heading to the yarn store in Memphis. While I was out wallowing in all that wonderful yarn at the yarn store, my husband calls me and now he has the flu. His throat was hurting and was begining to run a fever. Now I have two with the flu. Gary ran a fever from Saturday to this morning. I had kept Shelby staying at my moms trying to avoid him catching it as well but that didn't work, they called me this morning and he had 101.2 fever this morning and as soon as I got off the phone with my mom Tori calls me from her friends house. Toris throat hurts and she is running fever. She will be the one that gets the sickest from it she always is. So far I haven't even had the first symptom but I'm having to stay home from work tomorrow to be with the youngest ones. We have court tomorrow but I can't help it my kids come first.

Bummer-I think I have the flu also (doctor appointment later) and I want to call in work, but court is tomorrow here too and I have stuff to get done. I sure hope Elena doesn't catch it, it's nasty-ass (LOL).

I hope it all passes quickly for your kids and you don't catch it because, who would take care of you?

It is pretty nasty. The kids are still running high fevers this morning so we are on the way to the doctor in about a hour. If I get sick there will be no one to take care of me so the big cootie better stay away.
