Thanks Erin! We are feeling much better!
Oh, no! I’m so sorry, Stacey! Our family battled this for THREE WEEKS back in September. I’m not kidding. Three whole weeks. I’m not trying to one-up you here – I just couldn’t believe it lingered that long. Usually it’s gone within 24 hours but each member of our family (there are five of us) had it for 3-4 days and some were lucky enough to have it twice.
There is a silver lining in sickness like this though – it does force us to slow down. We stayed in jammies and watched more TV than we should for a while. Oh well. The kids seem fine. 🙂
I sit here in my big “IU” sweatshirt as I write to you. Power to the cream and crimson! Do you think you should come to the Oaken Bucket game on Thanksgiving weekend? It’s in West Lafayette, you know…:)
You have to find the good in it, even if you have to look hard! We are doing so much better. Glad to have it behind us.
The game would be awesome, but we will be here for the holidays. But, I want a photo of you in that Cream and Crimson sweatshirt in the sea of black and gold posted on twitter! Cheer loud! (do we have a prayer?)
Oh, that sounds awful, but it looks like you had a good attitude/focus. Glad you’re better now!
