Sick

It seems that once again our family (and me paricularly) has caught a horrible, no good, something nasty--just in time for July Fourth. One year (while pregnant) I had a severe neumonia...this year something involving body aches, nausea, headache from you-know-where, fever, congestion, sore throat, etc...No strep. That would have been too easy. Trying to rest and lay low (with five kids at home). How do you moms get better in a hurry?
