Hey Flu Bug...Don't Bug Me

In case you haven't heard, Team Zumwalt has been visited by the flu bug. I was the first victim earlier this week. Well, I take that back. My niece and nephews were the first victims and possible givers of the flu bug, but I was the first victim in my household.
Team Zumwalt gets flu shots religiously so we were feeling pretty confident going into flu season. I guess we were overly confident because it hit hard and it hit fast. I went from feeling "ehh" to "call the funeral home" in a matter of minutes. I've had the flu once before and remember it being bad. Really bad. That was the year I didn't get the flu shot and I vowed to never skip it again as long as I (and the flu) live. It was just as bad the second time. I wouldn't wish the flu on my worst enemy although I don't really have enemies. I scored some Tamiflu and started feeling better just in time for Isaac to succumb to the dreaded flu. The only thing worse than having the flu is giving it to your little boy. It's so pathetic, although he didn't realize he was sick until he heard me calling my boss to explain I wouldn't be at work because my son was sick. He asked me why I said he was sick. Oops, the cat's out of the bag. So he scored some Tamiflu and hopefully he will be on the road to recovery in no time. At least I hope since I'm now about to die from cabin fever. On the plus side, I am getting lots of extra snuggles although they are quite snotty. I'll take it anyway since I know one day very soon he won't want to snuggle anymore. He will be way too cool for me.
In closing, if you're a praying person, please please please pray that Nick does not get the flu. I'm asking this for mostly selfish reasons. Nick is NOT a good sick person. He hasn't had as much practice as I have so when he gets a hang nail life is pretty miserable for everyone around so I can only imagine how he will be if he gets the dreaded flu bug. Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah, do you think Walgreen's will give me my money back for the flu shot since it didn't work? I think I still have my receipt.
