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.

A fever is a good sign but I can tell just by looking at them whether or not they are really that sick.

If I cannot get out of bed, I stay home. If it is just a cough or a headache, I will still go to work, but I am super careful to keep my germs to myself.

If I have a fever and need to blow my nose every few seconds I’ll stay home.
If my child is throwing up, going the other way, has a fever over 100, or just plain feels too rotten to move, I would keep him/her home! I would not go into work sick, mostly to keep from giving it to others.
if i’m only a little under the weather i won’t stay home, a full on cold i’m not going anywhere

The rule at my daughter’s kindergarten is that if she is running a fever of 100 or more, she has to be kept home. So when she is sick, I take her temperature before we head for the bus stop, and if she is below 100, I give her some children’s tylenol or advil, and send her on her way.

Our kids don’t play sick, really, so if they complain about not feeling well, they get to stay home.
mrs.mommyyatgmail.com temp feeling sick
I ply my self with water and lemon and I will take a cold med every now and again but if that is not working then I will stay home.
Pretty sick cause they never tried to fake it, knew I coild tell! I just had to look in their eyes and could tell how sick they were!
My child loves school so if she tells me she’s too sick to go, I will keep her home. Of course a fever is a sure bet she won’t be going either.
I definitely keep them home if they have a fever, but if I think they’re contagious or they feel miserable they stay home also. It’s no fun going to work or school when you’re sick!

I stay home from work if I am really sick, but not if I’m feeling just a little under the weather.
