We have the stomach flu here at this house. I wouldn't come within 100 feet of us if I were you! It started Monday and is still going strong. It's a rough one and lasts almost 5 days. I finally gave in and joined the sickies today. The only thing that's worse than sick kids is sick kids with a sick momma. I'm not a very good sick person, and usually just prefer to lie around and feel sorry for myself. In light of the great amount of sickness going around in this area though, I thought I would try to brighten someone's day. So here is the list I compiled of why it's GOOD to get the stomach flu....
1) You get to jump start that diet you keep meaning to actually start.
2) You get to jump start that workout you keep meaning to actually start. Dry heaving is one of the best ab workouts out there! Move over Ab Lounger!
3) You get to prove to your husband that you are NOT that wimpy person he says you are when you are sick. OK..... maybe not, maybe we'll just go with, "Yes, you're right Honey, can you please make dinner and clean the house???"
4) All those towels, blankets, and sheets that so desperately need to be washed, get washed. Again and again and again.... (You know, the ones your momma thinks you wash far more often than you really do.) They had nothing but time back then to do laundry, there was no Facebook!
5) You have no temptation whatsoever to eat all those yummy Valentine's chocolates. (Which again helps with #1.)
6) You enjoy a can of Campbell's Chicken and Noodle soup as much as those football players in the commercial seem to!
7) You have time to make that photo book online that you never seem to have the time to do. Unless you're like me and prefer the, "I can't do anything except lie on the couch and moan" scenario. (refer to #3.)
8) If you homeschool you have an instant lesson in food digestion, or the lack thereof. None of my students seem to appreciate this lesson at all.
9) Germs run when they see your husband coming with the Lysol! Your house has never been so clean and germ free!
10) Finally, you have all day to snuggle, read books, watch movies, and hold those precious babies God has given you. When's the last time you took a whole day to do that?!
Well, that's my top 10 reason to get the flu. Now that I have not convinced myself, I'm going to go lie down and moan awhile.....
