Stomach flu

In 2009's continued effort to kick Bryan's and my ass, the stomach flu has arrived at our house.

Bryan had it a week and a half ago while Zoey and I were in Mt. Vernon for the weekend (we thought it was food poisoning), but we pretty much figured out at 4 a.m. on Tuesday that no, in fact, it's a nasty, vile little flu bug circulating...leaving me unable to decide (in a hurry) which end to cover the toilet with.

Bryan was kind enough to empty the bathroom trash bag I had just puked in, fetch me water, and keep tabs on Zoey yesterday as she continually bounced up and down on our bed asking "you feewing bettoh, Mommy? Now are you feewing bettoh??". Her energy level made me naseous.

I am trying to rally today, and Lysol every available surface in the house, all in the hopes that Zoey won't be the next victim.

Keep your fingers crossed.

It's everywhere! Penelope has it now. I had some version of it a few days ago. I'm hoping Cecilia doesn't get it! I hope you feel better soon and that your little one escapes!

I am so sorry to hear that you are sick. Hopefully it will pass over Zoey. Get better soon.
