We are recovering. The sickness got three of us (if I could only teach one to wash her hands more often). We used hot herbal teas (ginger, mullein, thyme and others), homemade vapor-rub, eucalyptus inhalation steams, homemade ginger-ale, and homemade elixir. I encouraged them to gargle with salt water too. It really helped me.

Sickness ~ Hubby ~ Homemade Graham Crackers ~ More Hand Lotion
The only reason I am up this morning, is to locate the school's transportation number and cancel the bus today. Both kids that ride it are sick with fevers and whatnot. As luck would have it, the school was calling me as I was calling them, and they closed today due to snow and bad roads. Traffic outside, is moving extremely slow.
As for me? I woke up at 4am freezing cold. I knew at that point I was the next to get the sickness (that our 15 year-old brought home from a sleepover). My temperature was 101.4 and I am not feeling so well.
