hello all!
my name is jenn and for as long as i can remember i have been scared to death to be sick. i was rarely ever sick as a child. i may have v*3 or 4times my whole life (im 28) i have 2 beautiful girls 5 and 9 and i was very lucky to not have any morning sickness with either pregnancy. im finding this winter very difficult for me with this bad tummy virus thing going around. im contantly reminding my girls to use their "germ" stuff. wash their hands, infact that last thing i say to my daughter before she gets on the bus is to keep her hands clean. i ask my daughter everyday if someone went home sick, or if anyone at school was sick. i even have to remind hubby to keep his hands clean. my kids rarely get sick either....but when they do i panic. when i hear of anyone being sick i panic. did i touch them, have i been near them, have my kids been near them....seems never ending. i never go out to eat for a fear of being poisoned. dont drink, always have hand sanatizer.
a little more than 5 years ago, my hubby's family was here for the holidays, to make a long story short, 4 of them were all sick and had to extend their vacation due to a bad batch of veggies at a resteraunt. it was so horrible. a few years ago i had my sister up here for a visit with her daughter. well the day before my neice was sick, contributed it to bad milk (she was about a year old) as my sister and mother were all fine. well the next day my sister was sick, i called my mom at her house and found out she was sick (and she is NEVER sick). i actually had my sister leave, booked her a hotel, i felt bad, but i couldnt handle that. i was freaking out! lysol on everything bleaching everything, opening all the windows to "freeze" out the bug.
right now i know about 7 people with the "bug" its really freaking me out.
