Maybe that's why we are practically the only healthy people left. I feel like there is a plague. Have you ever read or seen Steven King's The Stand? Kinda like that. Everyone around us is sick and we're wondering why we're not. It's probably just a matter of time. But yesterday Dawson went to preschool with his cousin and she came home with a fever/cough/etc. Isaac played with a little girl two days ago and she stayed home yesterday with swine flu. There are entire families in my neighborhood that are sick. I think I'll bring them all dinner. If I keep serving people, maybe I won't get sick.
All I ask is that I don't get sick. Most parents say they would rather be sick than their kids. I must be a bad mom. I say, I'd much rather them be sick than me. I'll spoon feed them chicken noodle soup, and nurse them back to health. But if I get sick.... who is going to take care of me? Hmmm? No one. I'll be making pancakes, changing bums, pouring bottles, breaking up fights, turning on movies and cursing motherhood the whole time. Yes, if I get sick it is the end of the world. If I could just schedule my illness over some school holidays, at least I could have Dave home to help!
I think I'll go figure out how to incorporate some garlic into my lunch. For those who know me, you know that won't be hard!

It's crazy how fast it is spreading! I think I read that 50% of the US will get it...ick! Keep staying healthy =) Thanks again for dinner!
That is it...garlic for dinner...and breakfast...and lunch! :) Your posts always make me smile - thanks, I needed that today! :)
I am thinking about swine vaccine for my kids tomorrow. I thought it was a no brainer but I've heard some controversy. What are you thinking? I think I'll do ti but would love to know what you think! We've already done seasonal flu vaccines for us all. So glad you aren't sick. I've done the them vs. me sick debate a lot and think they're both HORRIBLE!! :)

I feel the same way. Maybe we both had our turns last year! Guess I will stock up on the garlic.
