Down and out

I am going on day five of the flu. I have had a bad cold along with fever and achiness and chills and have been pretty out of commission.  It is hard to be the mommy and be so useless...but that has been me.  I am really thankful that Chris has been able to help a lot these last couple of days.  And I did have a temporary helper come yesterday to help out with the growing load of household chores that have not been attended to.  Apparently this bug is going around and usually lasts 5-7 days, so it is a long one.  So far only Lucy seems to have some very mild signs of it, but with no fever thankfully.  So glad for nursing immunities for babies.  But if this goes around our entire family it could take awhile to get everyone better, so thanks for praying for this to end soon.  Well, I hear Lucy squawking in her bed (yes, her new way of communicating is in these LOUD squawks and squeals.  So funny).
