Getting the Flu

Isn't it amazing that your kids own vomit doesn't make you sick? Well, that's true for me anyway. I was tested with this 3 weeks ago at 2 o'clock in the morning when my 4 year old boy came into my room crying and looking like the poisoned ghost girl from the Sixth Sense. I spent the next hour cleaning the carpet, the mattress pad, sheets, clothes, toilet etc..... When my husband came down with the same thing a week later, I was wondering if he caught the flu through osmosis, as he was NOT the one up at the 2am cleaning.

I began to think this was a manly flu, targeting those with different bits and pieces when my daughter came down last week. I again marvelled at my new found immunity. You see, usually I am the one who gets sick first, gets better while everyone else is ill, then I get a second round. Ever since I found the $10 Netti pot last year, I have been relatively sick-free. I was taking care of all of them and still I was going strong. Then, yesterday afternoon at 4pm, I was reviewing my spreadsheets on my computer when the next thing I know, my head hit my desk with a thud. I guess it saved the best for last....
