It found me
The one thing I don't like about the school's up here is you have to go inside to pick your kids up, you can't wait for them outside. They won't release them until you go in to sign them out. It doesn't matter the circumstances you still have to go in. I know it's only for their security but sometimes that can be a wee bit annoying. The flu and several other things have been lurking about like crazy. Last week I was really annoyed a few times when I picked them up from school to hear people coughing like nuts and looking like death. I was irritated at them for coming in to the school and infecting other people. It's only been the past few days that I realized they didn't have a choice. Not only have I managed to catch a flu but a stomach flu nonetheless. Wahoo. What makes it even more fun is Mike's still in California. At this point I feel like I'm just gonna croak. I've either been sitting on or hovering over the porcelain God for a couple of days now. Not only can I not eat but I can't even keep gatorade down :(. So I call the school to tell them I can barely make it 10 minutes without hurling and can they just send Cassie out (Joshua's sick too) and they say no. So that means I have to go in the school and spread my ickyness to who knows how many people. If they would've just sent her out like I asked then I might have been able to make it all the way back home before getting sick again *SIGH*! Obviously my diet's going well...if I even think about putting anything in my mouth....ugghhhhh. I feel so worthless right now. I had to have Cassie put Joshua in bed last night because I just couldn't leave the bathroom long enough to do it :(. Luckily I have improved today and can actually visit other parts of the house. We're picking Mike up from the airport Friday evening. I sure hope I'm better by then.

I'm sorry you're ill. We have thankfully avoided getting the crud so far this season. (knock on wood)
That school policy of having to sign your kids out in person is one of those that sounds really good on paper, but doesn't always work well in real-life. They should make exceptions if you are sick, and don't want to spread your infection to staff and students.
Hope you feel better soon! :)
