    I closed one day from a wicked GI bug. I couldn't leave the bathroom for fear of vomiting or popping my pants. It was awful. One day in 3.5 years isn't too bad.

      I definitely close if I have a stomach virus. I just can't watch other people's children when I have to spend most of the day in the bathroom and feel like I am going to die. Fortunately, that has not happened very often. I think the last time I had one it hit on the weekend...lucky me.

      I also closed once because I woke up at 2 in the morning with a pounding headache. I do get headaches a few times a month (I think it may be one of my many lovely peri-menopause symptoms) but they usually subside when I take my prescription rx. This one was going nowhere though, I took the meds and managed to go to sleep for a little bit but the headache would not stop and had me in tears. I couldn't even get out of bed so I mass-texted my parents (they are all young parents who rely on cell phones for everything) and told them there was no way I could watch anyone that day. That was a really bad one...hoping I never see one like that again!

      I guess I would close if I had a fever but I don't seem to get fevers...maybe my flu shop is paying off.
