The doctor said I have the flu.  Nothing I can do about it except to let this virus run its course.  Ugh I’ve never felt this bad in years.  There are moments I honestly think killing myself would be a relief I swear.

I picked it up from my boy. EVERYone has been telling me the same thing, “this is but the first of many flu’s you’re going to get up until he passes 3rd grade”.  Great.  He’s going to get sick for 2 days and then pass it on to me where I’ll get sick for 2 weeks.  That’s just what happened this time around.

Here’s where I’ve noticed some differences.

The baby gets sick:

  • Mom & Dad come the rescue, he gets hugs and comfort when he’s crying & coughing.
  • He gets fed whenever he’s hungry.

Daddy gets sick:

  • Dad gets pushed out to sleep in the living room so that Mom and Baby don’t get sick
  • Nobody wants to touch Daddy much less give him any hugs
  • Daddy still has to feed the enemy the baby who made him sick in the first place

How sick am I?  Let’s just say my camera arrived yesterday in the mail – the very object I waited 3 years to pick up saving every scrap I could manage… right now I could care less about it.  I just want my head to clear.  UGH
