Today on Friday

Hello Flu,

I am so sorry you showed up here today,
with all of your baggage, it looks like to stay.
I know I need the exercise, running up stairs and down.
But please, could you stop, and not get everyone down.

Today I look for some excuse to be glad.
Here is what my verses will say;
My house will be clean, by the end of the day.
The washer and dryer humming along.
The faint taint of Lysol and bleach perfuming the air.

So flu, so very sorry it is you.
Of all of the things going on in life it seems,
I just want to say, good-bye,
Come some other day.


Have a nice weekend, stay well my friends,
~Kim~

Oh no! What a terrible thing for the weekend. I hope you are all better soon. Do you need anything?

Julia said...

Kim, I'm so sorry that you are sick with the flu but I like your cute way of blogging today. I hope your uninvited guest goes away today.
I think that you will have to just let the house work go undone and rest so you can get back to feeling better real soon.

REST = HEALING
Sending healing prayers and (((hugs)))

Kim, So sorry you have the flu at your house; not sure whether a cold/flu is better than the stomach flu-neither is much fun! Get better soon dear one.
Hugs, Noreen

I, too, am running up and down the stairs and wearing Clorox perfume. The washer is tired and so am I. My dishwasher is broken (4 months old- but I got the extended care plan!!!Yay!) My youngest has the flu. Two days of 102-104 temps that were non-stop! Scary! She has cooled off, but now has all the nose and throat symptoms. Poor baby. I hope nobody else comes down.

She woke up sick on my oldest's 18th birthday. We were supposed to drive to her college. take a picnic lunch and visit Mount Vernon (George Washington's home). It turned out that hubby took her to lunch and they sat at the dock at their favorite town. I was bummed out that I couldn't celebrate with her, but 18 years ago the two of them ran off together too. Actually, they flew off in a helicopter together since she was in respiratory distress as a newborn preemie. I had to stay at the hospital since I had a c-section. It's was history just repeating itself.

Wishing healing for your family, rest for you, and most of all- that you stay well. Isn't it always the way that mamas work so hard that they get exhausted and lower their resistance to the bug. A big hug, and a sympathetic shoulder:)

Hope since it came, it will go quickly & never return. It's too early in the season to start with the flu bug!

Oh no, not the dreaded flu. I hope everyone comes through it ok. Doesn't it spread fast when it comes into the house.

I hate that for you; it's never a good time to be sick and "now" is especially not good!
