I have been terrified of the swine flu since we all first heard about it in April. Even during the summer months when most people forgot about it I was stocking up on hand sanitizer, tissues, medicine, and food, knowing it would be back to haunt in the fall. As mild as I kept hearing it was, I was still terrified of it. But I'm not scared of it anymore. I have conquered the swine flu!Top 10 things I have learned from my own experience with the swine flu 1. Trying to isolate yourself from your toddler and husband is nearly impossible. 2. Your fever will never, ever, ever go away for at least 3 whole days, no matter how much medicine you take. 3. Now that I'm on tamiflu I feel like a million bucks. 4. I was so tired that I couldn't even lift myself from the couch. 5. Weston was my hero and took over the role of everything in the house, but I didn't get quite as much sympathy as I wanted. That's what a phone call to mom is for. 6. It didn't matter what was on tv, I just blankly stared at the screen, too exhausted to take anything in. 7. I am a really, really ugly person when I have the swine flu. 8. The best thing about the flu is that I still had a huge appetite so hunger and deyhdration is not a factor. 9. I'm sure I spread it to so many people because I felt fine and then I was sick. It comes on so fast, so I'm sorry to all those people who I spread my lovely germs too. I did a lot of errands that day. 10. Now that I'm on the downhill from it I hope I can get the energy to take care of my sweet baby girl who now has it.
I know this post is boring to most people and who cares about the swine flu but I was one of those paranoid ones so I had to share.

You had the swine flu!?!! What? Oh Karen, I'm so sorry. I'm glad you are feeling better and confident about it however. Geez louise girl, I had no idea. If I was closer I would've brought by some chicken noodle soup and left it on your porch, rang the doorbell and ran. That's what friends do, right? I hope Haylee feels better soon!
Stacey and I were saying at dinner tonight, that we need to do doorbell ditch with a meal on the porch for you. so glad that you are feeling a little better today,
