Where have I been? Sick!

For the last month, my family has been battling some kind of sickness. First strep throat and then some kind of flu like symptoms. I did not test positive for the flu but that's what it felt like and the doctor told me that sometimes you have to test three times before you can get a positive test. I was in the bed two days pretty sick. Now my kids have it. I also lost my camera cord and have not been able to post any recipe pictures which frustrates me! I also have been having some water retention issues. I went to the doctor and then 2 days later and had gain 6 pounds and really was not eating anything that would make me gain like that, so I am working on that problem too. So, I'll be back soon I've still got 2 sick kids, but only one has a fever so hopefully this will be gone soon.
