 [: (]                                                                                                                    The flu attacked my little family of 5 this week - wiped us out for the week!!!
 My 6 yr old got it first - really high fever, lasted from friday until monday - then I got it, then the teenager got it - all the while Dad was professing that if we would just take a few aspirin every few hours we would sail right past it with not even a sniffle - he got it next - has been a shivering, snifling, whining 240# baby - then the 4 year old got it and tonight she is struggling thru.  I am finally coming out of it - was able to check the boards for the 1st time in days, do some laundry and some shopping (Gatorade, Gingerale, tylenol and kleenex)....
 Nope, we didn t get our flu shots but are seriously going to remember to next year!!!
 I hear the Northeast has been hit pretty hard with this one - anybody else dealing with this merciless illness???

We haven t had the flu, but I picked up a cough in Fla. over Christmas, and haven t shaken it yet.  SIL was really sick & on antibiotics for it.  For a while they were talking hospitalization.  But no flu.

No flu here, and we did have the shots, but I think we have the same thing as Austin s family.  I tried to get off of work for tomorrow and was turned down [:@], even though there were 2 extra people on the roster.
