going down like ninepins

[cariboo]

All around me, people are ill. Coughing, sneezing, hollow-eyed, hoarse-voiced, etc. It's terrible; why are they out & about? Don't they know about "the" flu? Ds' teacher was off sick today - good on her! Too late, though, as ds & dd are sneezing & snuffling... what's a mum to do? My throat feels suspiciously scratchy. I cannot succumb! I'm indispensable
to the welfare of the family! Help!

6 off in dds class today. Who know what with. I'm not going to breathe when I go into help

Yep dropping like flies! Have told the DS to keep washing their hands at school and take their vitamins!

I can see all 3 of us tucked up in dh & my bed tomorrow... groan!

can't seem to pry my fingers off this effing keyboard, tho. idiot.

How are you feeling??!

thx for asking - I gave both dc a children's NeoCitran (Lemsip in UK) last night which helped and we've all been dosing ourselves with a miracle homeopathic (is this a word?) medicine called oscillococcinum. I can't pronounce it so call it osso-buco.
