I'm doomed...

Fishwife has been in bed with the flu since Sunday night. Fishgirl stayed home from school today with a sore throat and cough. Just got a call from the school nurse -- fishboy is complaining of a headache and sore throat. We were notified last week that the kids had been exposed to scarlet fever.

I am sooo doomed. :wxwax

    I tried that...didn't work. In fact, I specifically mentioned a certain 300/f4 IS and she just looked away. umph.gif
    Whats the go...shut the house up & sit it out ?
    I want to open all the windows and air it out, but my typhoid mary's all have chills and want me to turn up the heat. WTF...it's almost 70F outside. I wanna go for a RIDE! I reckon I'll just cater to their every whims, and wait to come down with that crud myself. Just got back from the grocery store...yoghurt, grape juice, jello, fish sticks, soup...ugh. I sent an email to the boss this morning warning her.

    I doubt the bacteria will live that long, but if you're seriously concerned, leave the caps on and shoot it lightly with lysol.
