Whatever You do This Week, Make Sure You...

GET A FLU SHOT!!! Let me just tell you a little story. A very sad story. It all started on Tuesday. I was shopping for one of my clients, and I started to cough. I couldn't stop coughing. So I thought I must be getting a cold. Well, then Wednesday came, and I woke up sooooo sick. However, being sick and being a mom do not mix well together. Ben came home a bit early that day to let me sleep some. Then on Thursday, Ben took the boys to preschool and then took me to the Dr. Turns out I have the flu. Ben stayed home from work that day, thank goodness! We got me all settled and on the way to getting better! We are (were) going to Austin for the 3 day weekend, tons of hiking and picnics planned! Obviously that didn't happen! Then I take the medicine that was prescribed, I break out in hives, major hives. That is $50 down the drain for medicine I can't take! Then comes Friday. Ben gets the flu, and later that night, Caden does too. Next morning, Noah gets the flu and our neighborhood had a power outage when we woke up. We were all bundled together freezing in the blankets. What else could go wrong? Now after so many visits, I think the urgent care place is starting to recognize us. So 3 Dr. visits and well over $550 and no Austin trip, you get these pictures: Yes, four people and this much medicine (I think there is even some missing??), I had a hard time remembering when it had been 4-6 hours and when to take what!
This is our campground. Ben was on the sofa, me and the boys on the air mattress, during the day. At night time, Ben had one boy in our bed, and I had one boy on the air mattress. Worked out pretty good. We are starting to get a bit of a routine. Sleeping lots and lots. Eating next to nothing. Drinking TONS.
This is Noah today. He is feeling a bit better. He had to dress himself today, I'm not sure what he is sporting? Maybe a Soccer,Cowboy,Snowboarder?
We are hoping to be somewhat better tomorrow, Ben has the day off, but I bet we end up camped out in the family room for a few more days! Hope you all have a much better 3-day weekend than we had! Oh, and please, get a flu shot, you don't want to end up with disaster like this one! I just don't know how I forgot to get flu shots this year! The one year we didn't...
