I think it should be a rule that only 1 person in a house should be allowed to be sick at a time. I was doing pretty good fighting a fairly mild stomach flu until I came down with Pink Eye yesterday. Then, just after I got back from the Doctor I got a call to pick up my son from Daycare as he was suffering from a stomach flu. It's waaayyy hard to veg on the couch watching trashy daytime TV, or just reading quietly, while entertaining a sick 5 yr old. *sigh*
I'm not thrilled with the vision blurring qualities that come with Pink Eye either, I am quite behind in my MR reading now.
