freewrite week 6 day 5

I’m sick of people being sick.  We have been hit hard at our house this year.  We have had three months of illnesses on and off again.  We had the flu, stomach virus, colds, and random fevers.  I know that when having a family it comes with the territory.  This world has everything in it where ever we go.  I get that.  I used to work at a daycare where the parents would get jumpy if we posted a child sick in our classroom.  They forget that they all worked at the hospital and probably exposed their children to more than we did at the daycare.  Again sickness is ever where.  I get more frustrated at my ex now that he has a new wife and she has two kids.  Their family has shared more illnesses with us than anyone else.  We usually find out after the fact that they were sick.  It’s even scarier because my ex spent the last month keeping no food down and spent a week in the hospital without finding what was wrong.  Then two days ago our son started throwing up and running a fever.  I still think there is a chance that it’s some awful virus.  It doesn’t matter how many times I clean or wash everything in the house it’s only a matter of time before every illness is passed from every individual in the house.  I’m over the temperature checks, the doctor visits, and bodily fluids.  I know that I’m not the only one because it seems like its hit a lot of people this year.  I see weekly on facebook that friends are going through all the same things.  I’m more excited to get to spring and summer when I usually have to deal with allergies and nothing else.  That I can deal with because it’s easily fixed with a daily medication.  This all may be due to the fact that I’m not much of a winter person either.  I like fall and spring weather wise.  So when you attach all the sickness it makes me hate winter even more.
