There's something to be said for long distance marriages when you're sick. I don't want anyone around when I'm sick and since my husband is presently about 560 miles away, that's a good thing. I don't feel any guilt anout wanting the bed to myself or not being able to keep up on the housework,
Sadly, the entire household is sick and that does suck. Better that we all get sick in shifts I think so that there's at least one person willing to go out and replenish the chicken soup from Wawa.
I remember reading an article one time about the difference between a cold and the flu, but naturally, I don't remember the details, but I'm thinking we may have all had the flu. I think a fever had something to do with the flu.....but, I could be wrong. I feel bad too because the dogs suffer when we're all sick, no one was really up to play time and the poor dogs sense that something is wrong and naturally want to plant themselves in your lap and lick your already slobby face, This usually results in a loud "EWWWW" from the human being accosted. The kittens however were quite thrilled to have me spending so much time in the room and in the bed, so they can play jungle gyn with me.
Hope everyone else is feeling well!

I have not been really sick since my kids became old enough to make their own dinner (knock wood), I hope that will make things easier when the time inevitably comes.
Thanks for linking me!
