The puke bug. Whatzit called officially, norovirus, I think?

I had it 2 weeks ago. Son had it Monday, into today. Now daughter has it.

I'm afraid hubby will be next, he's been complaining of his stomach for the last two weeks but he tends to be kind of a hypochondriac. Never does anything about his illnesses real or imagined, but still.

I missed a few classes when I was sick (fortunately, it coincided with our snowstorm so some were canceled), missed Monday so I could stay with our son, and now if *everyone* but me is sick tomorrow I don't see how I can escape from the house even for the 4 hours I need. I'll have to stay home and empty buckets, do laundry, fetch towels and ice water and ginger ale and jello all day.

As for Monday, let's just say I am really glad we have hardwood floor and not carpet in the living room and hallway. And that we are replacing the carpet in my son's room anyway.

On the bright side, since I already had it, I can be caregiver without worrying about myself. I hope!
