Pig Flu

Yep, I've been in quarantine. That's me, in the mask. Alone, in my room for seven days. (For those of you counting-and I was- that is 12 days without my kids when combined with my trip.) Since we didn't know if Frankie or the kids had been exposed to H1N1, we were careful and kept me away from everyone. The pediatrician put the kids on Tamiflu as a precaution. I was on it, too. By the end, I was climbing the walls. I was plugged in as you can see- phone, blackberry- and spent plenty of hours watching TV and reading.

Once sprung from quarantine Wednesday morning, I returned to the most stressful, emotionally difficult week of work to date. I'm expecting a much better weekend!
