Regular flu vs H1N1

I had this great post all about the dif­fer­ences of the reg­u­lar Influenza A flu bug com­pared to the H1N1 flu bug…but you know?  Who cares? They both bite.

I’ve had Grem­lin home with the HINNEY flu since Sun­day and today Old­man is home with a fever.  Wanna guess what he might have? For the last month we have one kind of flu or another.

Not that I believe in jinxes, cause I’m a faith-based per­son (Hmmm…faith-based jinxes? Now there’s a ser­mon!) but I’m seri­ously think­ing there’s a con­nec­tion between their flu and my post recently about hav­ing a Flex­i­ble Atti­tude and J pray­ing for patience (Hello! Every­one knows you don’t do that!).

I’m just try­ing to under­stand the cor­re­la­tion between the num­ber of spills to the flu. Does it cause a twitch that makes you spill your OJ every 15 min­utes? Does the H1N1 make you pick up your Jello with your fin­gers and squish it like a 2yo while lay­ing in Mom’s bed?

Things that make you go ‘hmmmmm’.

So please excuse me as I try to go find a happy place for just 5. stinkin. minutes.

Oh, and in case I miss it…Happy Trick-or-Treating!

    My kids had H1N1 this sum­mer. And yeah, the com­pas­sion reserves were run­ning low towards the end.

    I hope you found your happy place, you poor thing! Trick-or-treating this year sounds like an excel­lent oppor­tu­nity for peo­ple to spread a lit­tle h1n1. Cuz you know some peo­ple won’t make their sick kids stay home!

    I thought Lee was get­ting it at 1:00 this morn­ing, but he worked today. So I’m try­ing to decide which is worse.…..being sick your­self or lis­ten­ing to some­one be sick. Just throw up already! Some of us are try­ing to get some sleep!

    Yup. We have one with it and one with a blasted headache for 3 days. The high school nurse told me he doesn’t have it unless it is checked and it’s very impor­tant to have it checked. No way, as long as tylenol is doing its job and he keeps drink­ing, I am keep­ing this kid home. Poor guy, he was part of orga­niz­ing the life size “Oper­a­tion” game at the church car­ni­val tonight, too. Here’s to Mom’s stay­ing cheer­ful through this.

    Any flu bug stinks. We just got the H1N1 vac­cine. I know peo­ple are iffy about it. But I had us do it any­way. I hope your fam­ily gets bet­ter and stays feel­ing well.

    I also wanted to let you know I have a give­away on my blog. If it’s not the lat­est post click on the What am I? pic­ture on one of the right side­bars.
