Yes, oh yes I was sick!
My husband was sick,
And my daughter was sick!
Poor Zoe was sick right before Christmas, she was sick the whole week of Christmas to be exact. And it wasn’t until my dh and I were sick that I realized how very awful she must have felt. You see, we had the flu. Not the stomach flu, thank God, because puking is THE WORST, but the fever, the night sweats, the body ache, the headaches; which by the way, I’ve still been having headaches. I’m thinking of calling the doctor soon and finding out why I still have headaches because I don’t have the flu anymore. And my head is hurting so much, I just want to hide under the covers and not exist at ALL.
Anyways. We were sick!
I could have used Halls! So I ask, where was this for me……
Can you use Halls this year. And when I’m asking I mean, every product they make. That’s right. We’re giving away the ultimate Halls collection of products a 40.00 value. All I had to do to offer you this giveaway was share this survey with you:
A survey was just released about cold and flu season and this kit will help keep moms and their families healthy all year long!
Survey Overview: Americans show up (or at least consider showing up) for work while sick during cold & flu season. Some because they won’t get paid if they don’t go, some because their boss pressures them and others because they simply have too much to do and fear falling behind. Some stats that really stick out are:
· Nearly half of Americans (44 percent) would consider going to work with a fever.
- More than a third of Americans (32 percent) said they would show up to work no matter how sick they get this season.
- Nearly half of Americans (46 percent) said they did not take a sick day last cold & flu season (October 2009 – March 2010).
- One in five Americans (19 percent) feel pressured by their boss or supervisor to head into work when they’re sick.
- One in three (31 percent) Americans said they wouldn’t get paid for taking off on a sick day.
- One in 10 (11 percent) said they would likely fall behind on their bills by taking a sick day.
- More than 10 percent of Americans thought they would not likely receive their next pay raise or promotion, or worse, would lose their job for calling out sick.

I am fortunate that if the kids have a fever or really bad cough my husband is able to stay home with them.
I stay at home when I am sick, but I work from home so I guess that doesn’t count does it? I don’t log in for work if I am really sick.

My kids go to school unless they are puking.

I don’t believe in infecting other people…so if there is fever we stay home…no if and or buts!
I get angry when I go to a store or public place & someone is working there who is sick! Even more angry when days later my whole family is too. I think the key to controling flu outbreaks is people that know they are sick stay home until their fever is gone & not infect other people!..Just my rant!

I got a phone call at work that one of my children was sick at school. He had complained of a belly ache in the morning, but I only keep them home if they have fever or diarrhea. He threw up at school, so I felt aweful.

If I’m infectious enough to get everyone else sick, I’d rather stay home but if it’s something minor then to work I go!
I have had to be extremely sick before taking a day off work.

Our school system has a very strict policy about no fevers or diarrhea in the last 24 hours, so if they’ve been sick I usually keep them home. Now adults on the other hand…..not so much.
Thanks.

Thanks.
If they are running a fever over 100 I keep them home.

they have to have a high temp to be kept home
If my daughter has a fever, or just doesn’t feel well, I let her stay home. She’s 11 and I trust her to let me know if she’s not up to it.
