sick days
This time I have an excuse for not posting
I've been sick
Yes me, the "I don't get sick" mom
Caught a variation on the bug going through the family. Came home early from church Sunday because I felt wrong. Felt like I was cheating, since I wasn't throwing up and didn't have clear signs of being sick. But I think I maybe had a fever. Spent all day Sunday and Monday in bed, more or less.
Today I'm feeling maybe 75% better. Still have some symptoms. But I am better by default because Buzz is sick. When a 2 year old is sick, Mom has to kick it into gear whether she feels like it or not. 2 year olds are not compliant in the bucket grabbing. In fact, he sees the bucket as a sign of being sick and will not let it be near him. Stupid Bucket!
So anyway. I'm a little oogey, a little light headed, and facing 3 days of laundry to catch up on.
But still. Nice to be feeling a little better.
Only bad part? Seems not fair to only lose 2-3 lbs after not eating for 2+ days. Not that I'd get sick to lose weight. But if you ARE sick and can't eat for a few days, seems like you ought to get a little more bonus in the weight loss department, is all I'm saying.
I'd really like to be down 2 more pounds. That would put me in another zone I haven't been in, in a long time.
As for the walking ... I can see it slowly drifting out the window. Summer and walking just don't go well together. I don't know why.
Posted by Kim at July 3, 2007 8:36 AMHope you get to feeling better really soon and that the bug goes away before infecting anyone else!!!
:)
Praying your family is feeling better soon! And I agree about the no-eating/weight loss...not fair at all!!! :-(
Posted by: Mama Mia at July 3, 2007 9:23 AMSo sorry you are sick. And even sorrier that you can't take the proper time to recover. Always a bummer when mom has to get up and get well before it's time. Hope you get at least a nap today. Kathy
Posted by: Kathy at July 3, 2007 12:13 PMOh, you poor thing. :-(
You're right about summer and walking not going together. But summer and stepping...summer and Pilates....summer and weightlifting...they all work well. LOL
Posted by: Rosanne at July 3, 2007 12:42 PMwondered where you were. Sounds like we got the same thing. Slow moving bug that still has a few to take down here.
Posted by: emmaus at July 3, 2007 6:21 PM(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) glad you are feeling somewhat better. i pray that you will be doing even better tomorrow. maybe you will feel like doing some jumping jacks instead of walking :P
Posted by: karencze at July 4, 2007 12:23 PMSome days I just want to climb through my screen and give you a big ole' hug! This is one of those days.
Praying you'll feel 100% soon.
Do like we do when it is too hot out - walk just after dark near your home. We are doing that tonight after watching fireworks at our neighbor's home.
I have a question about jeans skirts and girlies. Do you know of a place on-line that sells nice long jeans skirts? If you do, I'd so apprecatiate the information. :) Thanks!
Have a wonderful day, hugs, Robin
Posted by: Robin at July 4, 2007 8:02 PMI'm sorry mom =[
At least you can enjoy the lovely fireworks tonight? I just drove by them earlier!
I really hope you feel better! Maybe it would be better if you tried walking in the evening or morning? I love to walk on a summer evening (or night even) it's so nice and relaxing!
But anyway, I hope you feel better and hopefully I will actually put something in my own blog soon? My only excuse is pure laziness -_-''
I hope you feel better!!
Posted by: Sarah at July 4, 2007 11:15 PMbleechhh. so sorry you've been ill. no fun. poor Buzz. send the laundry out. summer and walking don't mix cause the climate crisis has set everything all ka-flooy! 122 in vegas or something? huge floods in texas? uck. the earth is crying.
xoxoxoxoxo
for Robin: long denim skirts. i googled "long denim skirts," and then clicked images and a lot of stuff came up. then i added "girl's sizes," to "search within these results," and more stuff came up.

As for summer and walking, I know why! It's called HEAT! Yuck!
Posted by: Peggy at July 6, 2007 9:53 AMI'm sorry you're sick, and I'm sorry Buzz is sick too. I hope you both get feeling better very soon.
Posted by: Shari at July 8, 2007 5:27 PMKimbo...looks like Iliacat is doing mucho more writing these days than you are. 'Sup with that? The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are a better time to blog than when Fall and school hits, doncha think?
Miss you ~ Betsy
