If you catch the flu and have to stay home from work it might actually be convenient for your spouse to be sick too. Recent studies* have found that two sick parents are roughly equivalent to one healthy parent.
It is recommended that ill parents hide all the "kitchen" toys so the children don't try to "take care of" the parents by making pretend foods that add to the nauseousness of the parents.
*non-scientific study performed on 3/4/2008, results might be slightly skewed due to the delirious nature of the adult test subjects.

Right after I threw up last week for the fourth time, Miss Peach looked at me and said "Mommy do you need some sushi?". It just about sent me back to the bathroom...
Oh hun.... get better soon!
Thinking back, some of the most creative moments come from my boys trying to "take care" of me. :)
Now I worry that they might be trying to "take care" of me, Sopranos style!
I really hope you guys feel better soon!!!
Yikes. I hope you guys feel better soon! I'm impressed with your blogging ability even while sick.
Oh yuck and so sorry. This is such a nasty bug.
But I have to say, I was SO glad that hubby and I had the flu exactly one week apart (literally, we BOTH threw up at about 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, one week apart).
Anyway, the last time we had the stomach flu bug it was at the same time...and THAT was the pits. BIG time. It was so much better having one us happy and capable of handling the 3 munchkins.
Get well soon!!!
This is hilarious. And all the more impressive that you can be funny in that state. I hope you get better very quickly.
Poor girl! I've never had the flu.

Oh man. Get better soon. Both of you. :)
Oh boy, nothin worse than TWO sick parents...get well soon!!
Oh. Yuck.
Poor baby.
I hope your household is all better soon. Yucky.
Oh man, that stinks! I hope you guys get to feeling better soon!
awwww feel better soon!!
Hey my Thursday Thirteen this week is 13 Blog Awards for Bloggy Goodness, and um yeah...there is a little L O V E waiting for you. come and get it!
Feel better! I am also impressed by your blogging ability while sick. My kiddo wouldn't raid the kitchen to take care of me, yet, but he is learning empathy. When I was laying on the couch the other day watching him play because I was too sick to move he would periodically come over and rub my head.
oh no!! i hope you are all feeling better soon!!!
My suggestion: Princess movies. Lots and lots of movies.
Hope you both feel better soon.
Are you guys better today?
Oh, I'm so sorry you are sick in your house! I hope it passes quickly and you are better soon!!
Hey - Thanks for the prayers for our baby - we appreciate it! See you soon. Kellan
Even sick you are hilarious. Amy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kindness and support. I was so super-sad yesterday, still am, and you were there, just like always. You are an angel. Feel better, darling.
