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.

We stay home if anyone has a fever.
I’m a stay at home mom, and my hatss are off to working moms who stay home with thier kids, I don;t see how you do it! Good for you to be there for them.
We have the school let us know if the boys are too sick to go to school (they get their excused absence and we know they really are sick). I never miss work due to illness. In 3 years, I missed less than 3 days of work due to illness. THankyou

My kids are home educated at home with me anyway.
I’ll stay home if I have a high fever and constant sneezing and coughing…. no need to make anyone else sick.

We rarely have time available at my job to take off for sickness, which is unfortunate. We share the plague amongst ourselves!
Kid has to have a fever and then severity is gauged.
If I think that they would not be able to concentrate, or if they might get sent home, I will have them stay home.

depends on the ailment… general rule of thumb if you are well enough to play you are well enough to go to school
When my children have a fever and just look worn out from a cold, I let them stay home from school. I make sure they get plenty of sleep and liquids and tons of hugs to help them feel better. I usually stay home from work when I am running a high fever and can feel a really bad cold coming on. I am a teacher so I don’t want to make students sick.

There needs to be a fever, lots of sneezing and sniffling, or other very obvious reasons to stay home…otherwise I send them to school and tell them to have the school call if they feel worse! This never actually happens as they feel better once they get up and start moving.

Our rule is puking or fever. no exceptions for anyone..LOL..that keeps someone from saying ‘i’m sick’ and getting up in the afternoon fine.

GL all! (I seem to be getting sick… hope I’m the only one… lol)
I work at home so i cant stay “home” from work unless i HAVE to. If my kids have a fever or if the dr said they need to stay home, ill let them, but otherwise they have to go to school. we live right next to the school so i can get them from school if needed

I work for a bus company, and it is hard for them to keep all the routes covered. Hence, I always go to work, even when I’m sick. Halls Cough drops have helped me out many times.

I let my kids stay home from school when they are not feeling well, I mean it’s just school and all they do is make other kids sick if they go! It’s difficult to learn when you’re not feeling okay…..Now I wouldn’t miss work if I’m sick, I always just go cause I have to but that’s what I have to do cause I’m an adult!

They have to tell me they don’t feel well and seem sick or have a fever.
My girls are pretty up front with me and go to school as much as they can. Reason? If they don’t use their sick days from school – they do get 3 personal days – but only if they haven’t used them up as sick days
It’s worked so far
