I’ve been off the radar for a few days; what  with a  900 kilometres round trip to spend Easter with family, returning home with one boy suffering a cold which became (as it does) all 3 boys and a husband suffering with it, I have been somewhat busy.

With Man-flu.

I’m sure I don’t need to elaborate too much on what life is like with a house full of man-flu sufferers.  It has been an interesting study. I have found that the youngest,therefore least vocal, of the tribe was the easiest to deal with. As they get older and the ability to whine and behave badly develops they are harder to look after. The 3 Year Old is trying but the hands down winner, and I’m sure this will come as no surprise, is my darling husband.

There is nothing at the chemists for the main symptom of man-flu. Unless you count ear plugs. But I do have a heavy frying pan in the kitchen.

My prescription?
 One clang to the head, with a hearty dose of
“If you’re going to die, die quietly!”
and everything will be fine.

    I laughed so hard I peed! (It was a nice relief from coughing so hard that I pee…or puke…or my head explodes from the 7-day migraine.) I asked my husband to please cover his mouth when he coughed, but nooooooooo. That’s why he’s soon to be cold stone dead in the market…if I can get the strength to lift the frying pan. Oh, well…I’ve lost 10 pounds. Maybe the Dr. will put me in the hospital tomorrow. I could use the rest! Oh, and have someone wait on me…

    GREAT POST. I’M GOING TO READ IT AGAIN DAILY THE REST OF THE WEEK!

    So reassuring to know this is a global phenomenom.
    Sal – you know you’re a mother when you have to cross your legs before you laugh! Jumping in the boys trampoline is an extreme sport for me…!

    That is too funny and so right on! It’s not too late for the 3-year old; try to teach him the error of the man’s ways before he starts emulating his dad!!

    Good to know I am not the only one who has the needed remedies already available at home-nor am I the only one willing to use them. :-)
