More Flu Fun

My kids had the flu over the last couple of weeks-taking turns, one after the other of course. So guess who’s turn it was next? Mom’s of course! Ugh.

I have been so sick I’d almost take back my belief that the vaccine wasn’t necessary. It was such bad timing-last Wednesday we went for a last visit with my mom before she moves to Mexico (posts in that vein coming – I was very productively typing blog posts on the trip to British Columbia!!) We got to her house Wednesday night after a lovely 7 hours of traveling with three little boys. Thank goodness for games on the iPod Touch that kept the older two pretty amused. BigBoy is definitely going to be excited when he gets his own iPod Touch for his bday next month.

Thursday I started feeling not great, mostly headachey and unwell, nothing specific. By Friday I was coughing and congested, even more congested Saturday and by Sunday all hell broke loose. I got the full fever with chills effect of the flu and that was so not fun. I barely left my couch all day, but thankfully even by today I’m feeling a little bit better and hopefully in a couple more days I’ll be close to normal. Probably then it will be DH’s turn.

Being ill right after a trip really plays havoc with your work-from-home responsibilities I have to tell you. My clients all knew I was going to be away, so thankfully things weren’t too busy, but I literally had trouble even keeping up with my email while I was gone because my head was so out of it. And yesterday and today I had set aside to get back into the groove and get some tasks crossed off my to-do list. Yesterday I couldn’t actually even stand to look at my computer, and today I needed a nap midday so that I could get just a couple small things done. Hopefully tomorrow I can rock my list though!

And as soon as I’m more normal  and caught up on my work (priorities you know) I’m going to reread/edit what I wrote on the way to my mom’s house and hopefully get some more posts going here. See you then!
