Yes, it's the flu

Well I went and did it. I got the flu. I haven't had the flu in years. Probably because I used to faithfully get the flu shot yearly. But I was working and they were free! I'm certain it's the flu and not just flu-ish since I have a fever. I can't seem to get warm. I'm shivering. My body aches. And I have vomited. I won't post the gory details (except that peanut butter must take a really long time to digest), but I had to laugh. See, I haven't barfed since I was PG with E, and that was 2005. I felt like Seinfeld...I broke my record :(

It hit me fairly fast too. My tum started aching at about 2 and I was full on feverish and nauseous by 7. So I have been camped out on the couch under a huge comforter. And admittedly, the girls have been pretty good. Playing fairly nicely, eating alone, being quiet so as not to wake daddy, and some minor chores (mostly since I don't have the energy to move, and that light really needed turning off. And the shoes put away. And that paper thrown in the trash). So in an effort to give them something that may take a while, I asked them to go make their beds. They are 3 and 5. I don't expect perfection. I didn't expect what I got either. See, E still has a changing table in her room. Only now, we use it for storage. There's shoes on the bottom, blankets in the middle, and pull ups on the top. Apparently, when I asked E to make her bed, she thought I meant to put every single blanket on her bed. And she did. And there are alot (we're talking 20 blankets here, mostly handmade, crocheted.) Her bed looks like the Princess and the Pea's bed. I heard both girls in there talking. H was saying "Would you let me help you with this one?" I knew what was going on, only I didn't have the strength to go capture it as it was happening. So here's the result....

I know it only looks like 7 or 8, but trust me, there are more under there. It's like a mountain of blankets! And it weighs a ton. I'm almost afraid to leave her under them for fear they might crush her lungs. But I just went in, and she is no longer under them all. I just wish she was this cute all the time :)
