'Tis the (sick) season

December seems to be the month to get sick. For everyone. I am not sure if we've had one day go by in December in which one of us hasn't been feeling under the weather. My goodness!

Today, Brendan is home from school with a stomach flu. He's the fourth in the family to get it. I think it may be impossible to keep these things from spreading within a family. I thought Brendan would avoid it, since he wasn't around either Ryan and Kelsey while they were actually sick and he certainly doesn't put their cups and toys in his mouth. (Kelsey, on the other hand, most certainly got sick by doing just that.) Unfortunately, he didn't miss out.

Even hubbie, who rarely is sick, was up all last night with the stomach bug.

Now I'm in that annoying position of waiting to see if I'm next, and wondering if every stomach growl is a sign of what's to come. Ugh. Please let this be the last of the Healy house illnesses!
