We've all heard of the bird flu and swine flu but
WHY doesn't the media cover the most serious pandemic to strike families all across the United States... THE MOM FLU! There is no cure and no vaccine to alleviate or minimize the effects of this horrible illness which strikes moms all across the country at least twice a year. I have only been suffering for 2 whole days, but research shows that this virus can inhabit a mom's body for up to 7 to 14 days.
Symptoms include:
1)Being the last one in the whole family to get sick
2)Your symptoms last longer than every single person in your family combined
3)No sick time off from work, because you used it all when the kids were sick
4)You still have to drive everyone to practice with a 101 fever
5)Kids are tired of eating hot pockets for dinner
6)Your whole body aches, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever and nobody cares
7)Desperate need for a nap, but fail to fall asleep due to laughing and screaming voices in your head, only to realize it's your kids fighting but your throat hurts, your voice is gone and you are so weak with headache and fever that you can't muster up the strength to yell at them.
Simple precautions to help prevent the spread of this virus include.... washing your hands, cleaning your counters and doorknobs with antibacterial cleanser, most of all DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN breath, cough or wipe boogers on you. So pretty much, YOUR OUT OF LUCK and will just have to OD on Mucinex, Sudafed and Ibuprofen to get you through the next 2 weeks. Well at least that's my experience. Got any better ideas?
