My daughter had her first COUGH.
I know I will get it soon.
I hate the flu season.
Nothing STOPS a mama in her tracks like a sick MAMA.
It is bad enough when you kiddos are sick – but when you are sick – life just stops. Whatever was on your to-do list – move it to another day – cause you will be in charge of pushing the PLAY button on a Dora video just trying to get by while you catch a small nap on the couch. (Wait…maybe that is just my life.)
Clorox gets this and wants to eliminate as much “flu” as possible.
On October 13, Clorox is hosting a “Say Boo To the Flu” flu shot clinic in Kansas City.
The Boo To The Flu Shot Clinic will be a fun-filled event with KC Wolf, candy for the kiddos, and food. The Visiting Nurse Association will do a flu vaccination and blood pressure screenings for persons 16 years and older. (They will be $25 for people without insurance or medicaid.)
And if you are in the area, you can watch me get a flu shot while being deathly afraid of needles. (Photos forthcoming…)
Here are the details.
Boo To The Flu Shot Clinic
October 13, 2010
8 am – 4 pm
Visiting Nurse Association of Kansas City
1500 Meadow Lake Parkway
Kansas City, MO 64114
AND…Clorox wants to make sure my Kansas City “Mamas” don’t get the flu either, so they are giving me TWO Clorox Prize Packs to give away.
Prize Pack includes: Clorox hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes, a $25 Target gift card, and a trick-or-treat bag with goodies like Silly Bandz.
