Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 by 

We were so close to making it through this winter without the dreaded stomach flu. BUT–fate threw us a curve ball and the last week of February we found our luck had run out. It’s bad enough when young children in the household suffer with the various symptoms of the not-too-pretty illness. It’s simply not fair when MOM succumbs to it as well! And here is where I learned to count my blessings.
