The Stomach Flu: 2009

1. Fuck.

2. I hate the stomach flu.

3. I hate other people's vomit

4. Especially when it's sprayed all over any surface or there is a trail of it from a bed all the way to a bathroom.

5. How it's only a matter of time before they all eventually start puking.

6. The 100% likelihood that I'm going to be barfing my brains out sometime in the very near future. 

7. the 48 hours symptom-free-before-they-can-return-to-daycare policy. If only this policy actually kept kids from getting sick (exhibit A: Neville).

8. today I hate my life

9. I'll probably hate it tomorrow too

UPDATE:

And I did hate tomorrow: within hours of each other, we all started puking. Save Lew, he got his vomit-on today. The house is a total post-puke mess: 10 loads of laundry, mountains of dishes, extremely dirty bathrooms. Terrible. At least I'll have two days to clean it: with the 48-hour symptom free policy and all.
