Ok, so this is still not that interesting, but, HOLY CRAP!! My entire household has been waging war on the flu virus and various others like it since January 2. To date, I have had the flu 3 times, in addition to what I am certain was bronchitis with a touch of strep. My husband, Steve, has had strep, the common cold, and food poisoning. (not sure where that came from) Then there are my kids, who have managed to catch the flu several times, and currently, they BOTH have strep. Ian has a rash caused by the strep as well (not pretty) and Alexis has a severe ear infection. Now, here we come to the major problem. We happened to pick an insurance plan where we have to pay out of pocket until we hit our deductible, which is $3600.00. Frickin' lovely. This week alone cost us $260.00. At this rate, we'll hit the deductible by the end of March, which is not a good thing. I swear, can't the virus' just vacate my house!!! One week with no fevers or vomiting is all I ask!!
