It is definitely fall...
It is definitely fall when my household is hit with illness for one and all. It is amazing how one person's illness can affect an entire house and spread like crazy! My daughter did not attend daycare this week due to a stomach virus of some sort, which I now have. Luckily, my husband hasn't caught the virus, but I am sure that will change in the next few days. To top it all off, my son has some sort of rash - possibly from a spider bit. I am actually looking forward to freezing weather so that the germs will disappear. Sorry that this is not a very exciting or educational post. Hopefully the coming week will provide more inspiration and a reprieve from illness.

Amy,
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost I hope your family will be better this week. You bring up a good question for teachers. Do we, as teachers who are in as close contact with students daily, have an immune system greater than other professionals? In the 9 years of teaching, I have only called out sick once.
Hey, I was sick this week too, but mine was sinuses. I actually stayed home from work Thursday and barely made it through work on Friday. Pounding headaches, running nose, and now it's in my chest. But I am feeling better after a weekend of rest. I have had the stomach flu thing...remember this summer when I missed a day of class, it was horrible. So, I do hope you and your family get well soon!
ReplyDeleteDavid, you bring up a great point. Until I had children, I was hardly even sick. Usually only out with migraines, which I inherited from my dad. Now that I have kids of my own, I tend to get sick more often. I usually don't miss work for it, but I think exhaustion played a part this week. I do think that teachers have a greater immune system than others since we work with snotty kids all the time. :) My husband gets sick every time our kids are sick. He is a manager at CVS, but he doesn't work directly with the public.
ReplyDeleteLeah, I do remember your bout with the flu this summer. Luckily, ours is just the common cold. It always seems to last forever, but at least it is progressing to my chest now - doesn't that mean it is almost over? We had to take my son to urgent care tonight for a rash that is causing his hands and feet to swell. When it rains, it pours! Hope you are feeling better!
