Remember that girl with the mask? She was down for the count all day yesterday. The flu hit fast and furious...thank goodness for 'just cleaned' toilets.
And just when 'girl with the mask' started perking up...sister #1 got hit. She had spent all day at a friend's house. I get a phone call, "Mom, my stomach is hurting!" she says. "I'll be right there," was my reply. 25 minutes later I'm in her friend's driveway as Kayla climbs into the truck. She had already thrown up...in her friend's bathroom. Of course she didn't mention that small detail to her friend. Nothing like a 'puke and run'. We drive the long drive home, occasionally opening the window in 7 degree weather so that she can hold back the urge to vomit again. We make it three houses up from our own before she's jumping out of the truck to leave her mark on our neighbor's lawn. (you're welcome neighbor!) Nothing like a 'drive by puke'. We make it home and before it hits midnight she repeats 5 more times. Poor, poor girl.
The good news? Stevie is back to her perky self this morning. The bad news? There are 3 still standing...

And thank you Kaleb for starting the chain reaction! Guess when one gets it, the rest follows. Sorry for all the sick children and hope they recoup really fast. It's a horrible feeling, that's for sure.
oh man...at this moment, I'm REALLY glad we aren't neighbors.
aaargh!! Hope everyone feels better soon and it doesn't spread any further.
Loving long distance relations at the moment! Everybody - get better!
