Calling in sick... (AW whine)

Since late Monday night into Tuesday I've been running a temperature (thought it was just a sinus infection flaring), with that just not a high level of energy but doing what I can in the course of a day. Last night I started to feel the onset of the walking dead feeling after eating McD's on the run, only to find out last night that the restaurant we went to Sunday night for DD's Birthday (Chucky Cheeses no less) has been shut down for infecting approximately 30 people so far from Friday to Sunday with Norovirus. I've been up since about 4AM doing the "up or down" debate.
I'm hereby calling in sick - no wait, I'm a SAHM, I don't get sick days - crud!!!!
Then it doesn't help that kids are giving DD crud about not having had her Birthday Treat bags yet (I didn't get to a store to get the stuff for them over break). The issue is that I haven't felt all that hot, and now knowing it could be Norovirus I'm not too thrilled about the prospect of putting them together until I feel better because I'm one of those parents who's a "self-imposed quarantine until symptom free 24 hours so it doesn't keep spreading. Of course, kids are cruel so that doesn't help DD... Ugh...

The good news is I don't think norovirus is the bug I've been fighting!!!! (never expanded outside of the tired/low grade fever) - it's likely just the sinus' again which isn't something for me to spread around (it's a chronic issue and in the care of an ENT) and both kids are healthy (we all ate the same food/drinks while there)...
The Face palm worthy yet laughable follow-up is that DH has decided that we're going to have the big family birthday party for DD (and I included DS since they're 20 days apart) at this same establishment with the his words at telling me this "Well, after they survived the Health Department Enema that place is probably the cleanest restaurant in the county this week!".. (thing is all it could have taken to infect everyone was some kid, not even a staff person there, not washing their hands after using the bathroom then using a utensil/game/drink fountain/restroom/etc. that was then used by everyone who ended up getting sick - that's the worst of it all!)
