It starts with one tummy ache.
Well, let me back up. It truly starts with one visit to any kids' play space anywhere.
You do what you can to confine it. Control what you can: do laundry like a fiend; scrub surfaces between laundry loads; comfort sick baby. Repeat.
You know what comes next... Someone else's tummy ache. Then the hubs comes home early from work.
You know it; you've been there. Maybe you're there this week like we were!! As if I have to say it, moms just don't have time for that nonsense. We have to be ready and available to be the runner, the laundry do'er, the temperature taker ...
I take a greens shot EVERY MORNING. Before anything else hits my stomach, I down a shot with a scoop of my favorite greens/oranges/blues/yellows/omega blend, coupled with a pre-biotic/pro-biotic blend with 11 digestive enzymes. I add a collagen enhancer, because if you don't know, collagen slows almost to a stop in our 20's. (I do that last part just to make my trip work for me. )
While everyone else in my home was destroyed by this tummy bug, I had a stomach ache for 9 hours or so... never tossed my lunch, and was better in time to deal with a sick husband & more sick kids. Queue the Beatles: Now, I'm a Believer!!!! Nothing better to test your discipline than putting it to the test.
This flu season has hit us early this year. I hope you're doing what you can to prevent - prevent - prevent!! I'm here to tell you, it's worth it!
If you want to know what I put in my greens shot, I'm an open book. Email me!
Til next week,
Stay healthy, happy and take care of each other!
XO,
Linds
