The sickies

The kids and I have had what I assume to be the flu - fever, chills, body ache, a little bit of sinus drainage. There is an unspoken rule that moms can be see sick no longer than 12 hours. If our sickness exceeds that time frame, we get pouting and grumbling from our spouses. My sick-time allotment is up; luckily, I am starting to feel better. I took some benadryl so I will sleep better tonight and I think it is kicking in. Here's hoping for a restful sleep tonight.
