The Stomach Flu: There is Nothing Like It!

*
We are just getting over the stomach flu (I hope!), and I have to say there is nothing like it!

There is nothing like the flu to

make me realize how neglectful I have been of our bathroom baseboards

remind me how much I enjoyed the first six months of each of my pregnancies

cause me to wonder why I haven't weaned Alaina

 


help me feel better about putting off making an appointment to have our carpets and couches professionally cleaned

show me how much I need my husband's help

give me hope of getting through the really thick library book I only have for two weeks

make me think bunk beds were not such a good idea after all

get me to feel sorry for my kids and even bend the TV rules--I think they watched FIVE DVDs yesterday . . . all quality educational programming, of course ;)

 


convince me that kids in Grade One do a lot of work at school every day (Ben has some catching up to do!)

 


ensure that I will never get caught up on the housework

test that theory about being only "a stomach flu away" from my goal weight.

Almost makes you wish YOU had the stomach flu, doesn't it?

But seriously, there is nothing like the stomach flu to make me appreciate how good it feels to NOT have the flu once it is all over.

We are all looking forward to that :)

I'm really glad that I haven't had the stomach flu yet,even though everyone else around me has had it. Maybe the flu shot that from last year is still working :0) Just keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on wood!!!
