Eeeee, one week from tomorrow!!

[MemoriesintheMaking]

One week from tomorrow we will be on a plane headed to Disneyland!

I'm so excited!! Now we just need everyone in the family to be healthy. We've been passing around this nasty virus flu-like thing that completely saps your energy. The kids had it last week, and I had it over the weekend. Today I finally feel human again. I've got plenty of o.j. and vitamins in the house and we are going to be healthy, or else!

Does anyone have any tried and true methods of banishing the germs? We'll be eating lots of fruits and veggies this week, and getting plenty of sleep. Maybe this is good that we are getting this virus out of the way before the trip.

So, one more week and we are on our way!! I'm finally really feeling the excitement today. We've been planning this for so long, and now it's almost here! We'll be surprising the kids early in the morning before we leave for the airport. I have a Mickey phone call scheduled for them, then we'll tell them where we are headed. I can't wait!!

Well, I'm off to staple papers in my dd's classroom. I'll be back soon to read posts and build up my Disneyland excitement!!

Yay!!! You'll be there before you know it

As for germs...I think that sleep and veggies/fruits are the best, as you stated.

It is probably good that you got it over with BEFORE your trip! Just be careful with rich foods on your vacation as you might be a little more prone to "gastric upset" from being recently sick. I always bring Immodium and Pepto when I travel - someone almost always needs it

And YAY - a week to go

I'm right there with ya! We leave in 6 days. I can't believe this time next week we'll be running around in NOS! Are you finding it hard to concentrate?!

We're taking Airborne every day. It has vitamin C, zinc and some other stuff to support your immune system. They have these fizzy tablets that you dissolve in water and drink it, like Alka Seltzer, but I seriously can't choke that stuff down; it's like swamp water! Now they have it in a chew form, kinda like calcium chews, only they are caramel apple flavored. They are still DISGUSTING, but you can get them down if you have a glass of water handy for after you finish chewing. DD13 and I have been doing a ritual: we each take our chew in one hand, glass of water in the other, stare each other in the eyes and slowly and deliberately chew the gross little caramel apple flavored chews. We try to remain straight faced and say, "Yum. This is so delicious." "Yes, it's really a taste treat." "Mmmm, mmm!"

Hope you have a wonderful trip! Maybe we'll see you there!

There was another thread on here recently about Wet Ones. The poster was saying that they kill the stomach virus, unlike hand sanitizer. Maybe take the wet ones and wipe down all of your door knobs and light switches and any other community surface (phones, remote control)? Change out everybody's toothbrush, so you are not passing germs back to yourself?

Avalon - wasn't there a recall on Airborne just recently with a class action lawsuit? I thought I got a thing in the mail about it. Try the grapefruit flavored tablets - they taste better to me than any other kind. Although, I haven't tried the chews.
