TwiceBabies Mom and Her TwiceGirlies Have Been Sick

Oh my goodness, it is has been a very, very, and oh yeah, very long week. I say this because I, and my twins, along with my hubby, have been sick since Saturday. Yes, Saturday evening is when the sickness came upon us. Being sick is not fun, in anyway, shape or form. Being sick takes time out of your day, keeps you in bed for the most part and just makes you irritable. If this sounds familiar to you, this is how I have felt all week long.

Along with sickness slowing a person's body down, it can cause a loss of opportunities and time lost from school or work. My twins lost three days of school because of their constant coughing. When I had the flu for three days, I lost a writing job opportunity. Actually, I had to turn down the job, which paid nicely, because I just could not concentrate and all I wanted to do was sleep. This year, unfortunately, I did get this flu and it is not because I did not receive the "flu" vaccine. You see, in 1999, I willingly took the flu vaccine and guess what? I got the flu anyway.This was way before all the commercials of this year, were being rammed down our throat to poison ourselves with, the flu vaccine. So I thought to myself, "Self, if taking the flu vaccine gives me the flu, the flu vaccine must be null and void, along with being a complete fraud filled with chemicals I neither want or can not afford to have floating around in my body or immune system".
If anyone saying being sick is wonderful, they need to get their head examined, seriously. Healthy, this is where you want to be at all times. Even if you are"pretending" to be sick, this is a no-no. Anyone can claim to be sick, when they are perfectly healthy.Then, all of a sudden, when they least expect it, out if nowhere, sickness comes upon them and they wish they had never lied about being sick. Is this a cause and effect for lying? You be the judge.
What goes around, comes around, right? So, next time you think it is cute, or even funny, when you claim to be sick...think again before calling in sick work or anywhere. Of course, this has nothing to do with me being sick, I have not worked in an office environment since 2004. However, I do work in my home as the manger of my home and I am a freelance writer. When I do not work, I do not get paid.
On a personal note, I do not suggest getting the flu vaccine. Getting the flu, naturally, is far better than injecting your body and mind with a variety of chemicals. Did you know that once mercury is in your body, it never leaves, neither does formaldehyde (formaldehyde, you mean the embalming fluid used in the deceased? yes, that one). Our bodies are designed to fight illness. Research, research and yet again, research what is going into your body, before you take the word of your doctor, or pharmacists, that the flu shot is good for you. This is a scare tactic. Fear is a good motivator.

TwiceGirlies Weekend: Where Colds Abound

Raise your hand if you like to sick....Come on now, let me see some hands..alright, alright, nobody likes to be sick. When you are sick, all you want to do is sleep, sleep and sleep. Being sick also reduces your patience level. Have you ever noticed that? Yeah, it does and along with your patience level being reduced, you do not want to be touched at all.
This non touching thing usually happens when one has the flu or a fever. Am I right, am I right? Well, of course this is right. I speak from experience, of course. My goodness, being sick does not make me, my hubby or my twins happy campers.

The funny thing is, yesterday my twins and I were outdoors on the front lawn playing. I was reading a book and my twins asked if we could take a walk around the block to look for their favorite neighborhood cat, Romeo. So, all morning and late afternoon, we were just fine. No coughing, no sickness whatsoever. Then, BOOM! Sickness hit us like a freight train.

This sickness all started, in my opinion, because hubby was hacking away and not covering his mouth of coughing into his arm. At that moment, I knew myself and twins would come down with a cold, coughing, chills, flu and or fever.

I did all I could to not get sick. I mean I always cough into my arm, always and I am a freak about washing my hands. In fact, my hands are dry a lot from all the hand washing I do. This time though, all the hand washing in the world did not stop me or my twins from coming down with an unwelcome cold and all that comes with it.
