Ad nauseum.

Whenever my children get a stomach bug, my first thought is, "I won't get it. I'm an adult, my stomach can resist that". I don't know why I believe this, because I am invariably wrong, with tragic results, as in deciding to eat three pieces of pizza for dinner and meeting it again at 4 in the morning. In fact, this has happened so often that we have a rule in our household of no pizza within 48 hours on either side of the flu. But this weekend the suffering was taken to a whole new level as I found myself trapped in the home alone with an 18 mth old who insisted on being held all day and a 4 year old with a never-ending monologue of All Things Dinosaur. Whatever I have done in a past life, it is atoned for.
