I secretly like the FLU

I want to confess that I secretly like the FLU. While I of course don't wish my children pain the flu happens whether we like it or not. However I DO LIKE the excuse not to have to go anywhere or do anything. I like that they need me like they did when they were babies. I like that they stay on the couch all day and don't make messes. I like that they sleep in. And lastly I like that I got to finish the last book in the Twilight series, New Dawn and my obsession with Twilight can be over. The girls are (hopefully) at the end of their illness but I figure if we have to live through the flu we might as well find some good in it - ya know joy in the journey and all that...until its my turn that is.
