Take two of these and call me in the morning!

Tis the Season for In-flu-enza, fa la lalala, la la lala!
Don we now our coughing and sniffles, fa la lalala, la la lala!
Awaken we do, with 101 fever...fa la lalala, la la LALA!!


Ok, you get the gist.
Everyone is sick right now!
The weather is changing and people are hacking
and coughing everywhere we go!
All we have been hearing about is
who is sick, who has swine flu,
who has missed a whole of school...

I thought we were ahead of all of this
because a few weeks ago we all had the sniffles
and missed a few days of school.
Then we were fine.
I was wrong!


But, alas, our sweet Flower
woke up yesterday with a high fever
and has pretty much been parked on the couch since...

The debacle of going to the doctor or NOT,
is always a struggle for me.
Usually the high fevers end up being viral
and there is nothing to do except

liquids, rest, and rest....


and maybe some of momma's homemade soup.
Homemade Soup makes everything better!

(((Have I mentioned I already miss summer?
I am in denial.
I am loosing my leaves as I type.)))

It is going to be 42 degrees here tonight.
42 that is practically freezing, right?
I officially turned on the HEAT last night!
It is going to be a HIGH of 47
tomorrow! That is pure arctic weather.
Well, for me, anyway.

Ok, well maybe I am being (just a little) dramatic.
Guilty!

Fall is here!

Maybe when everyone gets well,
We can start enjoying it!
