A letter to my ENEMY....

Dear H1N1 Virus,

I would like to write you to let you know how much I hate you. :) You took away 2 weeks of our lives. I missed out on helping a friend when she needed me (twice), watching my nephew for a weekend, a date with friends, my daughter's Halloween Party at school, a girls night out and LOTS of day to day activities for the past 10 days. As if that wasn't enough, you decided to bother ALL 3 of my precious babies! You cost us over $100 in medications to fight you off, took away a Halloween Party at Aunt Suzie's, Shayla's Halloween party at school, a week of Kaleigh's 3 week break, 2 days of school, my sanity and LOTS of energy and strength. You were, by far, the worst sickness we have ever experienced.
On the other hand, I would like to THANK you. I never realized how productive and strong I am until you took my ability to be so away from me. You made me fall deeper in love with my husband as he carried us all through this. You made me thankful for everyday health and gave me a deeper appreciation for my energetic kids. You showed me how WONDERFUL my husband and kids are and how lucky I am to have them. You may have taken a lot from me, but in the end I BEAT YOU! So "oink oink" right back at you. Stay away. You are never welcome here again.

Sincerely,
Me :)
