This year the flu started early

Just about everyone in my extended family has become ill with  major flu.  My husband and cousins and myself all became really ill.  I think this is the first time I have gotten ill this bad in a long time. I really hate becoming sick they told me mine wasn't the flu it was just a cold.  But let me tell you it felt more like the flu than a cold.  My husband still hasn't smoked.  I am proud of him.  My son has finally gotten sick.  He has had a cough and a couple of hours ago he had a fever. I gave him some Motrin and retook it and it's gone down.  I plan on taking him in tomorrow.  If I can't get it to go down or he gets worse it's off to the hospital we go.  I had a wonderful dinner tonite.  We even had fried potatoes.  I really like those quite a bit.  I am debating what to get my friend for Christmas. She has really helped me out with work.  I have no idea what to get her.  Hmmm... any ideas.  In between that the older episodes of the smurfs are on boomerang.  The old ones from when I was a kid.  I am really looking into getting another laptop.  I really like the ability to carry it around and use it when I go places.  I really think it would help me for work.  I just found out that MK has an app for my phone.  I think that's fabulous.  I also when my phone actually kicks the bucket or I get another phone I want an Iphone.  Everyone has an Iphone.  I have an Ipod.  I don't get how to work everything with it but my kids are picking up on it quick.  If I win bonuses through work they are def going to be getting one a piece.  The younger kids don't have them though.  I don't know that they would be responsiable.  Not sure.  Hope it all works out though the way that I want it to.  Wish everyone a blessed night.
