5. That throat pain is how I first knew we had it...
and then the body aches. Hope you have a nice big blanket and a couch to curl up on, and a tv with a remote. I've been watching old movies on AMC.

6. You poor thing!
The only thing worse than being sick, is being sick with your child! My daughter and I shared the chickenpox experience. Not fun!

I hope you both feel better soon! :hug:

That certainly is a harbinger of better weather to come.

Hope you feel better soon!

9. The meds really don't do much.
Nyquil is OK if you have trouble getting to sleep, but a stiff drink is about the same thing. Take something for your throat (Aspirin, Tylenol..etc) if you can. Lemon tea with mint was a nice thing when I had was sick. :)

8. I think I am coming
down with somehting too. I started sniffling and sneezing today and now I feel like someone beat me up with a baseball bat with spikes. I'm a whiner when I am sick. Will anyone put up with me this weekend while I whimper. That reminds me. Does anyone besides me like that commercial where the woman says she's going to get something for the guy and he says "I will be dead by then."? I feel like that guy right now.

11. ...bummer
Sending healing vibes form the Midwest.

Put your jammies on. Stay warm and dry. The fever will fade soon enough. You will be your raucous self in short order. Look at as a forced vacation from a higher power.

Good night old soul.
