True Love

So for Valentine's Day this year I got something really special. The real live Rapid Flu Virus. Fabulous. No, I did not get the flu shot this year, serves me right huh? When people say they have the flu, they don't, not the real flu. I for one have come to realize that I have never had the real flu either. I hope I never have it again. I did not even realize it was Valentine's Day. I could not lift my head off the pillow, I had a fever of 103, I was freezing cold, and sweating at the same time, I had a dry cough and a raging sore throat. The only reason I moved for three days was to go to the bathroom. Carter was amazing. He kept our house functioning, the kids fed and happy, all while trying to work. He made sure the kids had valentines, and valentines boxes, he even helped with Bowen's Kindergarten valentines party. He did laundry, covered me up, brought me food he thought would taste good, and laid by me to keep a watchful eye. He even brought Valentines gifts when he knew I wouldn't have noticed if he forgot. Now that is true love. I was able to get a perscription for Tamiflu which is supposed to shorten the flu by a few days, so I am feeling slightly better, but I tell you what this thing just hangs on. I am so bummed I missed a holiday, I love Valentine's day, and I had some fun things planned. I guess we will just have to have a belated celebration. For now I am facing a house full of fevering kids...Now it is my turn for true love.
