What Has Happened To Me????

Why does that FluBug look like Rex Harrison and why is it staring at me?

Aggghhh, God, my stomach is killing me! I bet I have that stupid flu that's been running through every house in the blasted county! You know why? When one kid gets well, before everyone else gets it, they send the "already had it" kid out to play - with everyone who is well. Or, they send the kid to daycare without telling you their kid was ill last night . . . or your husband works in an office with folks who have it or their kids have it . . . and everyone is carrying the junk around and it hops off of immune people to kill people like me. Just who am I? The one with weakest immunity to gastro-intestinal issues, that's who. So, since all I said before this is not very charitable, I will blame only the bug. Dumdum Bug!!

I was rather ill last night. I dealt with it. Maybe it was something I ate. Insert manacle laughing now. This morning, I felt a bit off after my breakfast cereal and coffee. Hmmmm, that's strange. After I ate my tuna and crackers, my stomach started seizing on me and now I'm in wretch pain! I know it's this virus going about 'cos my friend's whole house had it (they did not expose us) and she said she did not get it as bad, but the gas (both ends, I'm now presuming - geeesh!) was terribly painful. Ah, yeah! The stomach clenching is some of the worst I've ever had. No, seriously.

I may not be going to Soup and Stations. I will not make anything to send along either. Just in case. I will really miss going, but to be on the safe side for everyone else, I will not go. I'll do Stations here. Lord knows I have plenty of the booklets. I'm still pretty certain that when we say to offer it up, some of what we offer up is rather ridiculous!

Stay well, friends. Stay well.

Now my eldest son is home and he now does not want to go out and skateboard as I insist he wear an helmet. I mean, how I explained it to him is: If I can prevent an accident that keeps him out of diapers, off feeding tubes, and out of a rehab facility - don't you think I would? His repsonse: Just unplug me. SO I said, Okay wiseass - just kidding. I said: Look, I love you, but either you wear it or no skateboarding. I can't call not wearing an helmet and getting hurt and accident. Can you?

And, while I'm here being all sick and all, I have updated my sidebar stuff to include pics of my family. I've shared with you their nicknames so I don't have to keep typing "eldest son" etc.. This makes writing easier in a way. As far as the pic of my husband goes: if he will stop making faces at the camera, the world may see him differently, but until then, laugh it up.
