On Sunday afternoon at 4pm, Travis packed me up and sent me off for some alone time. It’s a new thing we are trying out to help my sanity. So, I went to our local coffee shop and did some work on the computer. At 6pm, they closed up shop, so I crossed the street to the burger joint across the street and sat outside to enjoy reading one of my magazines and to eat a gourmet burger. But….something wasn’t right. I wasn’t really enjoying myself and I didn’t feel right. I only had a couple of bites, packed up the rest and headed home.
I was back around 6:30pm and Travis was wondering why I was back so soon…well, little did I know…
I was about to get sick…really sick. It was basically like having food poisoning on steroids…but, it wasn’t food poisoning, it was the flu.
Blake had been battling it for a couple of days and Travis was complaining of a stuffed up nose.
Then I got knocked down with stomach stuff, a fever, chills, aches and all that comes with that.
That night Brook got a fever too.
Four sick Newman’s in the house is not fun and Mommy’s really should never be sick. Travis helped me out yesterday, but today he gave me a fair warning of only helping out a bit…”I have to make money dear.”
Um…well, this house can’t run if I’m knocked down by the flu dude!
I remember those times when the hardest part about being sick was getting to the grocery store to get all of the remedies I needed before I hunkered down in my bed for three days. I miss those days.
Good news though, we are on the mend and hopefully Brook will be able to get back to school by Thursday…even though she is sick, she is going stir crazy and I honestly don’t have a lot of energy to entertain since I’m trying to get better too.
There should be a rule that Mommy’s are not allowed to get sick…because the family just doesn’t work when she’s down.
Hopefully tomorrow my family and I will feel healthy and terrific…here is to hoping!
