Sick as a dog

So what exactly is it to be sick as a dog? I really don't know, and just about any other day I would probably take the time to look it up and write about it here...maybe another time. But today I'm sick as a dog: double ear infection, sinus infection and sore throat. Both of my boys are sick, too, so I probably caught something from each of them. Oh well...that's how it goes...it's flu season. So here it is the last week of January and I'm already taking sick days...that bites. But I guess that's what the days are really for...not to stay home and screw around. None of that today...I'm going back to bed.
