Hey friends!
I have been a little MIA lately because we got struck with FLU-MAGEDDON, and I needed to prioritize my energy elsewhere. But I'm back and feeling WAY better! 🥳
Quick recap -
My daughter got the flu the day before my husband was leaving town for about a week for work. And it was the same weekend I had a half-marathon. That was about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I had my mom and MIL here that weekend for help. But then I came down with the flu the day of my half-marathon. I was able to medicate myself well enough to finish the race (which I'm sure was inadvisable, and was very challenging, but I'm glad I finished!). That Monday, both kids seemed fine, so they went to school, and I was able to stay home and fully embrace the sickness - I mostly slept. Then on Tuesday, my son got sent home with a fever, my daughter was still struggling, and my MIL was now testing positive. It was a full-blown flu fest for the rest of the week. Fortunately, my husband got home and was able to avoid getting infected. Even when the flu officially passed, I have been dealing with sinus headaches all week. Until finally today, I am feeling like I'm back to 90%.
I know they say the strain of flu going around this year is a tenacious one, and I can certainly attest to that! We are firm believers in vaccines, and I'm so glad we got them because I couldn't imagine it being any worse than it was.
Anyway, that is probably the sickest I've been in quite a long time, and the highest fevers my kids have ever had so far. It was a little scary, and I'm so glad it's over!
What have you guys been up to the past couple of weeks?!
