Merry Christmas, Here's Your Infection

It's that time of year. Time for caroling? No. Time for egg nog? No. Time for mistletoe? No. Time for the viral infection! As if the ear infection wasn't bad enough, Kent got a cold. Then, just as I was about to take my last antibiotic I catch Kent's cold. This morning at 5:30 I was awakened by the lovely sound of Kent throwing up in the bathroom. He seems to have caught the flu. Neither of us ever found the time to get our flu shot this year. In years past we have been able to get them at work but this year neither place was able to offer them because the health department made this rule that you have to have at least 100 people getting the shot. So this year we went without and I am really hoping I am not next. Poor Kent. He was really in bad shape. I hope this is a fast mover and he is better soon.

On the plus side, today Kent told me it is really starting to feel like Christmas! I am such a kid at Christmas. I can't wait. Last year I woke up at 6:00am and made Kent go open presents. The only difference between me then and now is that I am more excited to give the presents and see the look on other people's faces when they open what I have picked out for them. I have gotten Kent two presents that I hope will really surpise him. His mom also said she has a really good one for him too. I am so excited! I hope I make it until Christmas without caving in and making him open one.
