We have the flu at our house. It came on rather suddenly and doesn’t seem to be letting go anytime soon. Big J got it Monday and hopefully will be back at school tomorrow. She was letting loose out of both ends and thankfully made it to the toilet every time except the first when she claims she thought she was “just tooting”! Mr. Man got it today, which is strange since he was home the least with all the germs escaping between my sanitizing freak-outs. He was teaching two classes today and it hit just after he finished the first. I was scared for him to teach the second, but always the Man he refused to call it quits, claiming that there was a bathroom just down the hall should he need it and that he had already noted that he should turn off his mic before leaving the classroom should an emergency strike! The boys are starting to get on my nerves and I pray nobody else gets sick because I HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE! Selfish, I know, but when I did sneak out at one point today I saved myself hundreds at an Old Navy sale on clothes for next year and know there are more out there like that calling my name. Ultimately, I’ve hit the January blues. I feel the immense lack of excitement and pizzazz in my life and am searching diligently for it. For instance, I started reading a book recommended and borrowed from a good friend that has absolutely nothing to do with parenting. But I need MORE! I’m bored here guys! I need a challenge and something exciting to lure me out of this conundrum. What are you all doing to keep the January blues at bay?

BUNCO!! It's calling your name!
Stomach flu should do it. I don't feel any blues. As I mentioned to Big J, don't trust a toot. Mr. Man
I positively hate January! I hate when all the preparation for Christmas is over. It seems to be the month everyone gets really sick. Hope things improve soon. I always feel better when I exercise, which can be challenging with small kids, but it's worth fitting an aerobics movie in for yourself or something else that recharges you. Sickness plus a couple small children definitely equals temporary insanity (emphasis on temporary).
I'm scrapbooking. I have done dozens of pages, and basically I'm not leaving my house either!
Hope things get better soon! Good advice from Mr. Man there.
i am so sorry you're sick and have cabin fever! that's the worst feeling!
okay, so i know most people are glad to put Christmas away, but this year I decided that Christmas happens one month too early. It usually comes before the snow even gets here - what's up with that?? Well, since I never have time in December to watch my favorite Christmas movies (Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, etc.) I am watching them all this month and pretending it's still Christmas time! At night, I put on fleece pjs, pop some popcorn or make hot chocolate, grab a quilt and put in a movie! It has really helped me fight off the feeling that winter should be over by now! good luck, friend!
I hope you all are feeling better by now!!
