i'm alive...barely

yes, after five days of basically lying in the bed i think i have about kick this flu stuff with the exception of a horrible cough and not much energy i'm back. i'm just now praying that no one else in the house gets it. lacey and kevin both have had a flu shot, but not poor lela. (so, i have to get on that asap.) i was planning on us going to the health department this week to get the flu mist for the h1n1 when i got sick. funny how things work, uh? depending on how i'm feeling that might be in the cards for next week.

it's so nice to be up and not feel as if my head is going to explode! kevin is such an awesome husband and dad. how god blessed me with such a wonderful man is beyond any comprehension i could ever have. he has worked from home this week, looking after me and juggling the taking of girls from school to gymnastics to choir to dance. thank you honey! i love you! you are the best!

it's my turn now

it appears that i have finally gotten the flu. yesterday afternoon, i started coming down with a dry cough and then this morning i woke up to a horrible headache and now a fever. i'm just praying this goes away quickly i have so many things to do and being sick is so not on my agenda. i'm struggling with my body wanting to rest while there is this part of me that keeps thinking that if i can just push threw i'll be ok. i'm not a good patient and rest is what i need. i'm now just praying for a fast recovery.

oink, oink

yes, the h1n1 flu better known as the swine flu has seemed to have found itself into our house. lela has not been formally diagnosed with it, but after talking on the phone to the doctor's office that is the diagnoses we've been given. trust me when i say its not as scary as the media makes it out to be. now granted this is coming from a mom with two healthy children. (honestly i can probably can count one hand the number of times our girls have gotten sick.) her symptoms have been a fever which has been running from anywhere between 101-102 degrees, stomach pains and a headache that she describes as her "brain is about to explode." what's so ironic is that just a few weeks ago i told kevin that if the swine flu came into the house you could just about guarantee i would get it especially because lacey loves cuddling with mommy...oh well i guess time with tell.
