Our household has been stricken with a nasty cold that just will NOT go away.
DH had it mildly (got it from his dad) then I got it terribly! I was sick for 5 days on the couch with a chest cold... I was soon able to do a little something after that but it has been more than 6 weeks and I still have a cough and feel tired easily. About 2 weeks after my infliction DH came down with it more severely. He too was house bound and resting for 5 days before attempting to go back to work... but always seemed to end up back in the house for a nap at points during the day. It was clearing up for the most part and then yesterday he woke with a sinus headache and now it seems to have gone from his chest to his head.
Our son who has been free from most all this "illness" came down with it last night. He has been coughing and has a nasty fever. Poor guy.
Both have been turning up the heat in the house cause they are cold (from fevers) and I am dying of heat! I told them there is no way I am having hot flashes! But the 2 keep the heat turned up.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better but I think our son is in the worst of it and it will be at least 3 or 4 more days before he starts feeling like doing anything again. I guess its a good thing that the teachers are walking out on strike on Monday - he won't miss any school.
I just hope the 2 don't give it back to me full force! I am still trying to beat it.

Surprise, Surprise!
You can say that again! I had the most stressful week ever when it should have been the best week ever. On Monday February 27th it was DH and I 24th wedding anniversary. Well, they say things come in 3's... I had 3 and hope it stops!
First, DH has been having some health issues. We have spent time at the Dr's and lab... blood work, ECG, Holter... now we wait. He seems to feel a little better until this morning - he thinks he is coming down with a head cold. :(
Second, my DD texted me in a panic or what seemed like a panic. She is unhappy with work and she was telling me she was going to quit, get into something else... not sure if she wants to do that... but then really wants to do that... "can I talk to you about it?... yes"... then she never showed up...or I thought she was coming over but she changed her mind....
meanwhile, the third thing... There was a situation with an association I belong to and I wrote a brief 2 liner about a discussion we had at the meeting in our executive minutes (exec minutes go in the newsletter as a draft) and the business it pertained to read it and called our president and threatened to sue for slander. *sigh* She had incredible demands so we called an emergency exec meeting and I contacted a lawyer. Thank God, I was told I did nothing wrong she was just seriously over reacting. We "amended" the minutes as the lawyer advised and now we wait to see what comes of it from here. BUT in the meantime I seriously lost sleep, had migraines and felt terrible about putting the association in that position. My stomach is in knots even while I write this!
Oh wait, maybe there is 4 things.. my son who is a wonderful boy has been, well, doing teenage brainless things... its not B-A-D in some sense of the word but he's pushing his luck. It could be much worse...teaching responsibility is stressful!
DH and I did have a nice time 2 days before our anniversary - we went for a drive down a 21 mile scenic route in the USA. We haven't crossed the border into the USA for a couple of years and decided to do something different. We ate at Applebees - I had a very tasty meal, not sure the points but I ordered it using good choices. On the actual day of our anniversary we went to the Olive Garden... its HARD to make good choices there! But I ordered a dinner and brought over half home.
I obviously didn't do much damage cause I lost 2.4 lbs... I don't think it will be hard to lose for next week as my stomach is not handling food well at the moment... it never rains it pours - why can't life run smooth?
