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

1500 Meadow Lake Parkway

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.

I agree to the pledge. I got my shot last week, but I have to admit my DD 5 y/o is a better elbow cougher than I am. Old habits die hard.
I was afraid of shots until I underwent infertility treatments, it cured my phobia and I got a beautiful baby boy as a bonus.
