False Sense of Security (again)

Last year I posted about how I thought the flu shot was a false sense of security. While I still feel that way, we are all set and vaccinated against the flu. Dave was able to get his shot at work last week and Carly got the first half of her's yesterday (she will get the last portion of the vaccine in four weeks. While we left Carly's doctor's office yesterday Dave reminded me that I was the only one not protected, so feeling left out - I went and got mine today. I know these shots are supposed to protect our family from the flu, and they probably will. For that I am thankful. However, the flu is not the only nasty germ floating around during the fall and winter months. I don't plan to let my guard down and invite some other illness into our home. The throw ups, earaches, and overall yuckiness can steer clear of here... it isn't welcomed this holiday season.
