Not sick like CRAZY..(maybe just a little)

But sore throat...fever...just M I S E R A B L E ...

& my darling husband spent last night trying to convince me that I could be the first case of SWINE FLU in Norway.... (yes, I married him for his charming personality...)

"Thanks Honey" as I coughed & sneezed at all over him...(cause if I am going down...so is he!)

So how about this SWINE FLU? (not thinking I have it... I am not that big of a hypochondriac...)

It is really scary though isn't it? Every morning I flip on the news to see how many more cases have been reported... where it is moving...

This week cases reported in Spain & today Germany... Here is hoping none of you/us will be affected...

Latest news I heard indicates confirmed cases in Mexico just 26, with 7 deaths. The 159 others have not been confirmed as having the swine flu (or whatever the World Animal Organisation want us to call it - lol). 64 cases confirmed in the US. Sounds like it's not as bad as first indicated.

You've probably just got the regular flu :-)

Feel better! The swine flu is bad down here--they shut down an entire school district! Everyone's freaking. It's because we're only 100 miles from Mexico...

Hmmmmm with summer holidays coming up and plans for my kids to fly down to SA and Spain - I'm now getting a little uncomfortable. Airports are such a hotbed for germs.

Hope you get better soon :)

I would not panic about this swine stuff. Just take care of yourself. Get rest, eat healthy, drink lots of good liquids. Take over the counters if needs be. But, rest. Stay HOME until you are well again.

Get well soon and I hope the rest of your family stay healthy, too.

I'm just glad that my cruise with stops in Mexico is not until the late fall.

Hope you feel better shortly.

Just me luck - Fat AND may die from the Swine Flu!

Sorry your feeling poorly. Hope it gets better soon, or at least transfers to Bjorn.

I say you plant a great big slobbery kiss on him! That'd show him.

Oddly enough since I only 6 miles from the US/Mexico border we're not panicking. We're being cautious but not panicking.

Hope you feel better quickly & man, I gotta get me some more Lysol. *inching back slowly from computer...*

I hope you feel better soon! It's no fun being sick! And being a sick mommy is really hard!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I was honored to have the Fan of the Week visit and leave a comment too! =) And you're right, the photo reminded you of Ireland because it really was Ireland! Well, Northern Ireland to be exact.

Thanks again for visiting and get well soon!

Remember that some strains of flu have killed over a million people - the Hong Kong flu a few years ago, for example. And that a normal flu kills about 200,000 thousand or so every year... so relax! It's not stupid pigs, but stupid media for hyping it all up!!

Swine flu thing really is kind of unnerving. We live in Oklahoma. One of the girls in my daughter's class was gone last week. Returned yesterday. Told everyone in the class she'd been to Mexico. My reaction: unnerved. I know they are checking people returning to the U.S. from Mexico at the airports. I just hope it all turns out all right. All we can do now is wait and see. Hope nobody gets sick.

US Homeland Security says "Don't worry about a thing." Vice Prez said this morning to stay off planes, trains and other Mass transit. and House Leader says she'd lock her family up if she could. No Travel..Have lst case in Platte Co.(Parkville) They are handing out pamphlets on the borders. Get yourself checked, stay home from work.. luv ya

I hope you feel better soon. I'm sure you're not the first case of swine flu in Norway - where would you have caught it? Besides, you're too awesome to get swine flu. And besides, I said so (this is my go-to reason for everything).

We had a school shut down a few days ago. It seems that the Swine Flu, while getting a lot of media hype, is really just a bad flu. For those worried, I'd just protect yourself the same way you do when a bad flu is rolling through town. I think the elderly and the very young should be protected, just as they should when flu is around.

I hope you feel better! Sverre didn't want me to come to CA when this whole Swine Flu thing started...I told him it was either death by Swine Flu or death by Mom, so I had to choose wisely.

I'd rather take my chances with the flu.

after spending my morning at a meeting discussing the possible closure of the school district and their pandemic emergency plan... I've obviously not been freaked out enough about this swine flu.

and we're HUNDREDS of miles from the nearest confirmed case.

Get some rest!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
