Our new year started out with the flue. It started with Corban and slowly worked itself around the rest of the family. At the same time we had made a goal to clean the house, a room at a time, every Saturday before Chinese New Year. So we got to rearrange the office while we were sick. First all the DVDs and Books were moved out to the living room. Then we started rearranging everything. This is when Pieter and I started to get really sick. Luckily the next day we were feeling a bit better. And then the following day I got even sicker than the first day, like I was hit by a whole new disease. I ran a high fever and got the chills. I had to put schooling on hold for a day. I know the kids enjoyed the extra day of vacation. While I was sick, I was lucky to have my husband who took a lot of the brunt work. Everyone started to get better except Corban, the originator of the disease. We found out this evening that he has an ear infection in both ears and he is now on antibiotics. We usually don't get very sick and we never take medication, but we followed our rule; anyone sick over a week gets to visit the doctor. We usually let our antibodies do all the work, but this time I guess Corban's just weren't strong enough. I hope this will teach him to keep his dirty fingers out of his mouth, but we doubt it.
這個月一開始我家大兒子就生病了，接著全家都跟著病了。我也破天荒發燒兩天，第一天還拼老命整理家，因為我開始整理沒多久，身體就發燒，全身骨頭痠痛，簡直要我的命。到了下午泡了薬草泡熱水，身體的疼痛不再了。可是還是發燒，燒了整晚，所幸隔天就好了。原本以為病好了，結果隔一天竟然又高燒起來，燒到39度，我身體痛到不行了，發燒超過24小以上，連續高燒期間，再度用藥草泡熱水，全身疼痛感覺消失，但是滾燙身體，加上會發冷的情況，呼吸變的沉重，這真的很難受。但是值得慶幸的是，這次我老公只有輕微生病，否則就慘了，其他小孩除了咳嗽流鼻涕之外並無大礙。但是始作俑者，我家大兒子，就沒那麼好運，不但病厭厭七天，最後不得已去看醫生，兩隻耳朵發炎了，得吃藥了。說實在的，我家小孩鮮少生病，幾乎都是差一點發作，但是都可以因為飲食調配得宜，不會有很大的問題，這次生病，真是令我感到不可思議。我都不記得上一次何時我有如此生病過，真是需要努力做好個人衛生，特別我家那個愛吃手指甲的大兒子。
當然這樣子，全家生病情況很少見，加上我本身是小孩課程主要的老師，所以有些課程當然面臨中斷的時候，其實這必然會發生的，所以課程可以調整，甚至安排補課時間，讓課程可以順利進行，雖然我生病這幾天，似乎無法真的做什麼，但是也無需太緊張了，大部分課程已經結束，都是進行複習部分，加上小孩們也可以有自由發揮，就是大大亂搞家一番的機會，我相信一切還好。
原本我們計畫就要在這個月每星期六打掃家，這次挑中了書房跟客廳的一半，因為我們打算把過多的書好好整理一番，花了點錢，讓家多出了些空間，我們把書大動作搬移，因為有些櫃子有發黴的現象，我拼命擦，所以沒記得帶上口罩，黴菌也可能吸了不少，所以大大增加生病的情況也說不定。
不過經過大肆整理後，家裡的書櫃井然有序了，感覺滿棒的。再挑櫃子時候，我也看中一張餐桌，這張餐桌可以展延給12個人坐，原木的長桌，真是有點心動了。有張大桌子，擺上美食，真是愉悅，說不定哪天我就給買回來呢。
We moved all the books and DVDs
