We started to get hit with illness on Friday - I send home 17 kids with fever, vomiting or sore throats - that was alot for me. Today I had a request from kinder teachers wanting letters sent home to parents to notify them of all the cases of strep & flu going around and they all wanted a "deep clean" of classrooms.

I'm armed with my Virex Spray.

I may need to get myself the same wardrobe!

I'm getting hit hard with strep throat right now, it seems that it has been a revolving door. I have a few out with the stomach bug as well.

My then 8 year-old daughter was diagnosed with Influenza A last March. After three days of fever to 103 I finally brought her in and that's what it was. Poor kiddo. Hope yours feels better soon.

Oh my!

We had a nasty stomach bug hit FRIDAY NIGHT on a majority of our middle schoolers. Am I lucky or what??

It lasted all weekend. I very reluctantly snuck in this morning and was ready to run back out if I saw the first puker. No signs yet.
