Flu Season, Already.

When it comes to the flu, you can never be too careful.

Maybe it's cause I had preemie twins or maybe cause I'm a bit of a germ freak, maybe both?

I don't like my kids getting sick. And I don't like to be sick either.

Of course, I am recovering from a bad spout of the flu.

Being a busy, tired, worn down mom of 4, you'd think the flu would pass me over; it didn't.

I got it full force.

Upper respiratory. Throat. Aches and pains. And diarrhea (your welcome).

Needless to say, I got a flu shot when I was able to stand up and not hurt.

Hopefully if this flu comes around again, I'll be prepared to fight it.

SO while I was at WalMart (I know, don't judge) getting my flu shot. I was trying to convince my 7 year old and 4 year old to just go ahead and get a flu shot too.

Come on-- Mom's doing it!

It will be fun.

I'll let you pick out a toy. Any toy under $25.

I knew they weren't gonna do it. That's why I said $25.

They both pondered on the thought and pretty sure they shouted and hollered "NO"!

I told Weston, "remember that snap gun you want? The one that's $13? I'll buy it for you right now if you get a flu shot."


AS he thought for a moment, his response was to great to not write!


"Well, I already have $12 at home in my piggy bank. So I only need $1 to make $13-- then I can buy it myself."

This kid, I tell you. He's always thinking one step ahead. What 7 year old thinks like that?

Love my Wessy.
