It’s Wednesday night and we’re still not all recovered from this weekend’s flu assault.
By Sunday we were all sick as dogs. All four of us. We were a sight. Our babysitters…Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Curious George and My Friends Tigger & Pooh…proved to be our only salvation during the weekend. The shows gave the iFarmer and I time to rest and kept the Future Farmkids from wallowing in their own misery.
I have not been this sick since I had the Russian Flu in the 2nd or 3rd grade. And this is the first time in more than a decade of marriage that we have both been sick at the same time for this long.
Usually when the whole family gets sick, one goes down, then another, then the first one is on the mend, then another goes down, the second one is on the mend, then the last one of us goes down.
This time, we all needed TLC and loads of rest all at the same time.
But we were all back at work and school today, even though Future Farmboy fell asleep on the way home and was so sleepy he skipped supper. Poor sugar.
We’re hoping Thursday brings us more sunshine, fewer throat lozenges and a dresser top that doesn’t look like a makeshift pharmacy.
