Well, another one sick

Sunday, along with yesterday, my kids weren't feeling well. My girls had fevers, and my son, although not feverish, was moodier than usual, which makes me think he might have been a little sick. Today, they do seem to be feeling better, which I'm happy about. They may not be 100%, but they're better than yesterday, which I'll take. Well, this morning, my husband told me that he wasn't feeling well. When he told me that, I knew what that meant. It'd mean that he was going to spend part of the day in bed. It's 3:15 now, and where has he been the last little while? If you guess "in bed", you'd be correct. I wasn't feeling well on Sunday, and I was still standing. I think I had a touch of what my kids had, but with the help of a tylenol and juice, I was better in no time. Although we don't get sick often, this is one difference between my husband and I. He goes to bed, while I still fight through. Oh well, ... Such is life.

So it is when the immune system is at work. I spent 24 hours feeling real bad, while my system was fiighting the virus of the flu.

I'm sure we'll all be alright tomorrow, after a good night sleep. I think that's what we need. Besides, I'm fine now, and my kids are feeling better, which is a good step in the right direction.

@DanieGirl80587 yeah, he's the only one who's sick, and when he's sick, he's pretty much a baby. Lol. Didn't even notice when I mentioned I was feeling well the other day, but for him it's the end of the world.

Sorry to hear about the family feeling sick. Hope everyone feels better soon. I also like to fight my way through it although sometimes it is probably a better idea to rest it off.

Sometimes it may be better to rest but sometimes you also have to fight through it. I'm sure we'll be better in no time.

That is pretty normal between husband and wife. My husband lays in bed acting like he's dying while I am still up and cleaning, taking care of the kids, etc... I hope everyone in your house feels better really soon!

Yeah, it seems to be normal between husbands and wives. At least my kids seem better.

Life seems so unfair then. You know I can relate to that. If my family members are sick, they stay in bed but if I am the one who is sick, I have to get up to do all the chores.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one, who has found herself in this situation. I have to agree that it's not always fair, but what can you do.

I think that's how most men and women differ when they don't feel well, especially women with children. I Hope you're all much better soon, especially the children! :)

Mothers aren't allowed to get sick, are they? I am sorry your children have all been sick. There seems to be a bug going around our area.

As far as I know moms aren't allowed to get sick. At least I'm not. At least my kids seem a little better today.

It is common for us, mothers/wives to still be up and around though we are not feeling fine because no one will do the house chores. Good if there is someone like a house helper who can do it.

I know the feeling. My husband is usually pretty good about helping with chores, but I know that I won't get much rest, as one of my kids might want my attention.
