The flu is in da house and its first victim is little Ben, who is running a low-grade fever and puked and puked until 2:00 this morning. Poor kid; he'd sleep for about 15 minutes, then cry and and writhe and whine "Mama" for about 30 minutes, then vomit, and then we'd start all over again. For those of you who don't know, our little community is leading the nation in flu cases, and our infectious disease doctor says this is only the beginning, that we won't even peak until mid-October. Our clinics are no longer seeing patients with flu-like symptoms in an effort to slow transmission.
I don't think we'll be going to the fair this weekend. Any wagers on who's going down next? I hope it's not Mark. I do so love my boys, but sorry, you are the biggest babies when you're sick!

< rant=on > HEY HEY,,,I gotta be one of the least whiney people on the planet, even when I'm sick! Yes, Ben was way over the top, but the kid has NEVER puked before, he's 7 and he needed to sleep. AND,,now that it sounds like YOU are going to be biting dust next, I better not hear a lick of whining or public ridicule will be swift! I will overlook that whimpering today on the phone 'cause you are a "girl" and that's OK for you girls 'cause you are all so soft and pretty and need someone to take care of you. < rant=off > < flame war=ON >
Mark's comment makes me laugh.
I'm sorry for Ben. I hope it's not from Mister Teacher's class... I don't want more than the cough and runny nose we have at our house...
