Flu,flu go away!!

We have been sick with what we think is the flu, first Kelly came home with a sour throat, super tired, and a high fever. Then Chad came home with the same symptoms. Both kids stayed home from school which led to more stress for them because you have to make up all homework and schoolwork when you are sick, so sometimes it doesn’t pay to be sick. I know why kids go to school sick! It's just not worth staying home. I felt so bad for them. And then my husband came down with it. And I though I was going to loose it I have been in the house for two weeks with my sickens and now him.
