Families should share. Except when it comes to viruses, then all sharing should stop immediately. The stomach flu is a terrible virus that is so hard to contain, especially with little people. We were struck just after the holidays and down we went, just like dominoes - one after another. Parents know to avoid this like the plague and I was very sad that because of the ill-timed intrusion we missed visits from family (Tim and Jen) and friends (Ben and Mary Ann). Alex and Melanie came to visit only because they knew they could leave their kids with their sister and not expose them to invisible monster.
To celebrate New Years, Russ and I take turns making our plans for the big night. This year it was Russ's turn. He didn't feel well and desperately needed rest in bed. We watched a movie and went to sleep just after midnight (and the neighbors fireworks). Then at 1:00 a.m. we awoke to a sick child, then again at 3:00 a.m. and then 5:00 a.m.. Not exactly a happy new year, but the bright side is that it will only get better.
