Flyin' High Muthafuckers
I'm not sure why motherfucker or any of its permutations have been so pervasive in my posts lately. I'm not even sure if that sentence made sense, exactly. I am sure that I am SO NERVOUS about flying to Austin tomorrow that my stomach is saying "RAWR" in a many trips to the potty way. EW. At least I'll be unlikely to shit on the plane or in the airport tomorrow, right? Because that would be fairly difficult with a 20 pound Egg strapped to my chest. Of course he didn't poop today. Or yesterday. Which means that the chances of morning poop tomorrow are good. Please oh please no morning poops! NO MORNING POOPS WORLD. YE SHALL NOT DO THAT TO ME. Please.
I was worried about flying with a baby during the great Swine flu outbreak, but recent events have me not worried one fucking bit. No, we did not get vaccinated. We got the Swine flu instead. Chicken and I were sick for almost a week, with just a head cold thing we thought. Then as I was getting better, Chicken took a turn for the worse and was sporting a fever, the rash on Egg started to worry me, and then TB got sick. All of a sudden TB and I looked at each other and started to ask Dr. Google some tough questions.
For some reason I was under the impression that H1N1 included tummy issues. Nay! It can include tummy issues, but does not have to include them. (I just used "include" way too many times. Sorry!) As I stared at the list of symptoms I realized that my FMS makes detecting the flu a tad bit difficult. You see, body aches, headaches, and lower tummy issues are just a part of life. So I assume that nose/throat/cough issues equal a head cold and go about my business. Today TB took Chicken to the doctor where he was pronounced With Flu! but on the upswing. TB discussed Egg with the doc and was pronounced, "Fighting something viral!" and fit for travel.
No one is contagious at this point, Chicken is staying out of school for a few more days just to be sure, and off we go to Texas with an immunity to H1N1 (we think). My theory is that I got a very minor case of Teh Flu and produced antibodies which Egg sucked out of mah bewbies and he ended up with a mild rash indicative of Something Going On but not full blown flu. If you have a better theory, one that involves everyone dancing topless, let me know. I'm just happy that everyone is feeling better and I get to see my SIL tomorrow! YAY ME!!
I am not taking my precious laptop to Austin, so the only ways to communicate with me are: Direct messages via Twitter (which go to my cell phone), or real, live phone calls. Which also go to my cell phone. Yes, I'm only going out of town until Saturday but What If The World Ends? Oh wait! I can text updates to Twitter if I get lonely, huh? Yes, I shall try that. Good idea, me! See you later, bloggy peeps!

We're having a lovely virus at our house too - but apparently not H1N1. Oh well, loads of fun anyway.
Have a great trip!
found you via swistle...
we've also had a nasty virus, but NOT flu. glad you are all feeling better, and have a good trip!
Oh I am sooo pissed. I wrote you a hella big comment last post and it got eaten.
@anne - maybe it ate your comment becuase you used "hella" and it's not 1999, or "NorCal"
You *would* have been using Muthafuckers correctly in a sentence if only you had said "Muthafuckas". Emphasis on the "A" at the end.
Get it right, muthafucka.
Also? You can will a plane to stay aloft with the power of positive thinking. Good luck.
Have a good trip and I hope the flight goes well.
I just did EIGHT flights in two weeks, several of them international, with twins.
With diarrhoea.
Yes, I am clearly enormously talented, because people at the end of the flight told me how well behaved S+N were. And still cuddled the little buggers after soending fourteen solid hours in their company.
Either that or I am suicidal and got very lucky. They could make change tables in planes bigger though. Just sayin.
Snicker.

Came back to see if you had posted again. Please post so we know you were no where near that shitstorm that happened yesterday.
OK so you too, at one point in time, were concerned about H1N1. So I am guessing you would have been irritated if a person had boarded the flight next to you and your child knowingly contagious. Or showed up on the prior flight and rubbed their germs all over the armrests and tray table. Or does being irritated at that possible scenario just make one bitter?
Sounds bitter to me Michelle... charming.
