My head is pounding.
I move from our bed to the couch and back again.
There have been long nights of coughing fits, propped up pillows, extra blankets, a humidifier blowing eucalyptus into our space and a very confused puppy.
Lucas went to preschool today with a runny nose and severe bed head. Sue me!
It was the first time I’d driven in three days. I wore my slippers.
I haven’t washed my hair since Wednesday. Talk about bed head.
I’ve taken so many doses of Alka-Seltzer Serve Cold & Flu and Nyquil that I should have started feeling better yesterday.
I’ve personally gone through almost three boxes of Kleenex.
I’ve played (and lost) countless rounds of Words With Friends, Scrabble, Scramble and Solitaire.
We’ve gone through two jugs of OJ and tons of water.
There have three trips to the drug/grocery store.
I’ve read one book and made a vat of my favorite soup.
This is not how I wanted to start 2013.
Being sick sucks! It might be time to call the doctor…
I know our home isn’t the only one that has been hit by this plague, so take care and get well soon!

Hang in there- get to a doctor if you develop a fever after 3 days- or if you have a fever and it doesn’t go away after 3 days. This years flu has already put over 2,0000 people across the US into hospitals- just this flu season.
I had it – took 2 rounds of antibiotics. Say no to the Zpack- most doctors know this this antibiotic no longer works. It took me 10 days to recover. -Karen
No fever and Z-pack generally gives me a yeast infection (sorry, TMI), so I stick with Alka-Seltzer and NyQuil. Finally after one week, I finally starting to feel like me.
Glad you are feeling better too!
Oh my…. I hope that you start feeling better soon! It sucks to be sick as a mom that’s for sure!
You know it!! After a week, I am on the mend. Thank goodness.
Oh gosh, SO many are sick 🙁 So sorry, this flu season sucks. Get well soon!
This has to be one of the worst flu seasons EVER!! I hope you and your family have been able to avoid it. Unless of course our germs can travel across the world.
Feel better soon, Tonya. I’m almost afraid to leave our house, flu is so rampant here. Hope you had the flu shot and if Lucas and Todd haven’t had one, even though it’s probably too late, they should get one. Sending hugs and get well wishes. Take VERY good care of yourself. They are telling people here that you should see a doctor if you have flu symptoms. Love you.
Thanks, after a week, I am FINALLY on the road to recovery. It really stinks being sick. Todd has had a hacking cough since December 27. He has been to the doctor twice. Stay well! xo
Seriously go to the doctor! Well, actually I think you texted me earlier today that you were feeling better so that’s good. Hopefully, those sick germs are gone for good. Being sick really does suck! I’m knocking all the wood around me that I don’t catch something in the near future.
Lucas still has a running nose, complained of his ears popping yesterday and Todd still has his yucky cough. I am about 75% better. Doing too much as usual, but medding up! 🙂
I hope you start feeling better soon! Moms shouldn’t be allowed to get sick. 🙁
I agree 100%!! Ugh. After seven days, an entire week, I am starting to feel better and get out of the house. I hope your family has been able to avoid this.
Wow…I hope you’re on the mend soon! We had a wicked stomach bug in our house…it’s lingering, but hoping we’ll be done soon. Hang in there!
Same to you! Yes, a few lingering symptoms here too. This flu season is a doozie. Be well.
I hope you feel better soon. I was sick all of November and it was brutal.
Aw man! I hope you are feeling better now! Seems like every blog I read and every facebook status there is has people I love getting this horrible plague! BOO!
