Swine Flu - Can you believe people really get it?

Well believe it! I'm not exactly sure where I picked it up from but that dang virus grabbed hold of my system and wasn't letting go for anything!

Tyler and Kody had both been feverish, chilling, and coughing last weekend and the beginning of last week but they bounced back after two days. I too got the chills, fever and cough - expecting the same pattern as the boys. My cold seemed to be a little bit worse but still nothing to worry about. During this same time, we had our final tax deadline of the year at work so that meant working some extra hours but anything I haven't done before. On Thursday (which was the deadline) I just kept pushing and going until about 8:00 that night. As I fell into bed, I felt really crappy but mom's can't be sick, you know.

Friday, I got up, still not feeling or looking that great, but I was going to host a dinner for my siblings and their spouses on Saturday night so I tried to clean a little and then I'd have to rest for a while, clean so more, rest some more. By noon, I went straight to bed - never to see the light of day again until Sunday morning. (Except for the 2 hours I was at InstaCare).

Thankfully, I'm on the mend and continue to feel better each day. I've never been a flu shot person but I do think I'll be getting mine and having my family get theirs as well.

I'm glad you're feeling better. We stood in line at the Health Department yesterday for one hour in order to get the girls a H1N1 vaccine! Let me know if you need help with anything.
