H1N1

We don't have it, but I feel like everyone around me does. (You know who you are, and after hearing all your sick-stories, I am afraid of it.)

This summer I said that I would not be eager to get a shot that I thought was untested for a flu that was not severe. I would rather we all just get sick and get over it, I said.

Since then, I've changed my mind and although I wasn't the first in line tonight, I was still out in the rain with the kids heading to the first night of the "County Health Clinic" set up in a nearby town. Reagan and Grant were the only two who qualified for the vaccine tonight, but they are my two "germiest" and my biggest complainers. :)

So tonight I feel a little more hopeful that we might be able to avoid a two-week, sleepless, croupy, vomit-filled, crisis and maybe a trip or two to the ER. I'm (cautiously) relieved. I knew where we were headed if all of us got this and now maybe we won't have to experience it...?

Wouldn't that be too easy?
