Sick Day

Little did we know...

the stomach flu was going around!

Ava picked up the bug,

then Owen,

and finally,

me!

Lucky for us,

we all recovered fairly quickly.

Which can't be said for our cousins,

who ended up throwing up all week!

Yikes!

Hopefully this is our last bout with the flu for the season,

but if not,

we've got the bucket ready...

Sick? Call Iris

She frets,

fusses,

fluffs pillows,

and puts everything you'd ever need

easily within reach!

...

Thank you, Iris.

You take such good care of me!

Love,

Mom

Elmers - Flu Shot = Flu!

Last year we made our way smartly to the flu clinic the moment the vaccines became available.  This year we became complacent, and when I called, they were already out!

Blast procrastination!

In a matter of DAYS the kids and I all came down with the flu!

 

Ava had the worst of it, with a stubborn fever of 104.5!

Bella was the last to get sick, and was positively delighted to finally be sequestered at home with Ava from school!

Next year, guess who'll be first in line for the flu shot?
