Be a peach and link up with the rest of us and let us know the answers to Crazymama's questions:
{1} What is your feel better remedy when you are sick?
To lay in bed all day and do absolutely NOTHING! Also, depending on what is ailing me, medicate myself. Heavily.
{2} When illness strikes, what is your policy on staying home from work, school or church with yourself and the family?
I have gone to work sick! I have gone to work not feeling well. I have gone to work with a headache or a cold. I only miss work if I can not function.
My kids need to be running fever or puking before I let them miss. Which is not often. Mean mom? Nah! Teacher of responsibility? Yes!
{3} What do you think is worse? Flu or cold?
I would say the Flu. I have not had it very often in my life (thank goodness!)
{4} Flu shots? Do you get them? Have you yet?
At one of my former places of employment they would give them to us for free and I got one because they were free. Now, I don't get one. I have never really had the flu either with or without it.
{5} When are are feeling down, what is your usual, go-to therapy? (retail therapy, exercise, comfort food, etc).
Exercise? You have got to be kidding me! Retail therapy and comfort food...hell yeah! Oh and chocolate! Most definitely.
Happy Humpday!

I'm a big believer in the power of chocolate and tea myself - they're my go to self medication of choice.
a long time ago, when I was married to a deadass, I went to work sick... I was coughing up green junk! They finally sent me home after 3 days of me coughing on them. I had to work or the bills didn't paid!!
My girls do this same sorta thing now... work when ill.
But me. I stay home now.
so It's a good work ethic I passed along... just as you are.
I can't decide if FLU shots are worth it or not. Seems like I still get one bad sickness anyway.
Reading everyone's answers, it appears a lot of people don't get the flu too often (we better not be jinxing outselves)
Great answers!
Chocolate can cure a lot of stuff ;)
Yep...chocolate is definitely the answer to any troubles that come along! Works for me!
Chocolate is a must for feeling better.
Are you kidding? When I'm down, I just yell at my hubby. LOL
Chocolate isn't used for a downer day, it's an everyday. :)
I remember when I was pregnant I never missed work. But these other pregnant chicks could harddly function and were always sick.
I always went to work if I was sick, or school...so I hold my kids to that standard as well. I'm sort of a mean mom too. LOL
exercise...total guffaw!! yeah right, it would NOT make me feel better either, or at least i am pretty sure it wouldn't.
yeah my kid has to be pretty sick to stay home.
thanks for linking up lovie!
I don't miss work often either.
I think the flu is worse too. Colds can be miserable but I'll take that over the flu any day.
Jeez...sorry about that. Not sure why that posted 3 times. :/
LOL about the exercise! This is a fat girl with a shopping addiction asking the questions. I thought I'd just throw that out there.
I'm totally mean about staying home from school too. Church i'm less mean about missing.
Medicate heavily... ahh that sounds nice when you are sick! I haven't been able to do that in years, my kids are too little still. Dang it.
I agree about kids... puking or high fever are the only times they miss.
Retail Therapy & comfort food... hell yeah! Yep, you nailed it on the head :)
yeah, my kids have to be pretty sick to miss school too. its so hard to get them back on track when they miss even a day of school!! and i'm pretty sure that chocolate is the remedy for just about everything in life :) thanks for playing along!
Can't believe I missed coming over here yesterday.
Chocolate soothes everything doesn't it? I don't exercise when I'm healthy why would I when I'm sick?
