So, its’s Monday.

I hate Mondays. The weather here is rainy and dreary this morning too. I hate sending the kids to school, I feel like I'm throwing them into the fire, exposing them to all the lovely little bugs out there. With the weather being like it is, I know they will be inside most of the day. I've gotten to where I am even scared to take them to school by myself. I am afraid of one of them getting sick. My hubby is wonderful, he took them to school this morning for me, even though he worked all night last night. I feel horrible that my anxiety is so bad that I would ask him to do that.

What is freaking me out is the adults that have had this bug. I have heard of three having it. I know for a fact two of the three had v'ing. The children dont seem to be getting it as bad. I have heard of several other children besides my daughter having it and they just had the stomach cramps and the diarrhea.

My anxiety is high today, and this cruddy weather isn't helping!!!!

I'm sorry u are feeling so crummy today. With the weather being crappy, that doesn't help much. It's cloudy and starting to rain here too. I'm in Florida, and it was beautiful yesterday. Do something today that is fun for you to do indoors or maybe go shopping to get your mind off of this. It does no good to worry, but you probably already know that. Easier said than done. I try not to worry anymore b/c it just ends up making me a nervous wreck and to me it's not worth it. It's better to worry when there's something to worry about, you know? You are feeling good today right? Except for the anxiety. Do something for yourself. You deserve it. I hate Mondays too. I still don't know what I'm doing today yet. Be happy. It's not as bad as you think. I'm not saying that in a mean way. It's just that in the last couple of months, I've totally changed my attitude towards everything. I'm trying to think positive and just BE HAPPY. Even if you make yourself happy, you will eventually become happy whether you are depressed, anxious, or worrying about something. We only live one life and we're not getting any younger. Worrying does no good. Now I'm just rambling.lol Sorry. Do something for yourself today and try not to worry.

I know how you feel...I am hating the on and off again sun/cold dreary that we keep having. I want spring here forever so we can get the kids out!!!! I am tired of hearing about the bug going around and I too have heard of so many adults with it and fewer kids. I am so scared since my husband is not a good hand washer and he also gets right in my sons face for so many things. I am tired of being hit with such high anxiety and I want this to end and each time I think that we are about to get me on a smooth road, I get scared about bugs and everything else that can make us V and I freak out. I always think that my son looks sick, so I worry constantly if I am alone with him which is pretty much all day except weekends. My husband goes back to workt his a.m. and I am so scared of what will happen all day.


Oh well....I hate being an EMET!!!!

Awwwhhh.... Sorry you are having a rough Monday. I'm spending this Monday in bed because I managed to catch another cold bug last week while working. I have had a low grade fever and I don't teach when I have had a fever.


I do understand where you are coming from with the perspective of "being thrown into the world of bugs". I feel the same way every start to the work-week.


The weather has been cruddy here too. It finally rained here this weekend, but now it is starting to act warm and then a cold front is about to hit later this week. The weather just refuses to stablize, making people sick.


We shall get through...

gubba, just out of curiosity, the adults that you have heard of with it, what were their symptoms?

Hi
I called my pediatrician just to find out what was going around here in Connecticut. The nurse said there was a bad cold/cough going around and an sv* with primarily d*, some v* but not much. I also asked if adults are getting it and she said mostly only first time parents. I feel a little better. Hand washing is the best thing. I drive my elementary schooler nuts reminding her and I also put a Handi-Wipe cloth in her lunch pack. Try that. They are only 99 cents for pkg of 20. Take care everyone.

I know that monday morning feeling well. I also feel like I am exposing my daughter to all those lovely germs at school. I am already longing for the next school holiday when maybe I can relax a bit. Try and look on the bright side everyone, only 5 days until the weekend. I wish everyone luck in avoiding all the nast bugs.

When I picked up my children at school today, my son informed me that one of his classmates was out with diarrhea today.

I feel like he is doomed. I hate this!!

I can't stand it either. I get a little bit anxious on Sunday nights. We get through the weekend and I realize that Monday could always be bad news.
