So all week I've been feeling flu'ey, nasty, achy...

I slogged through. Stayed on plan with eating and water. Got some walking in but mostly did my stretching and yoga.

I am feeling much better tonight but now my oldest little (Madeline, she's seven) has sore red swollen ears, swollen lymph nodes, massive headache, dizzy and queezy. Fever of 102.

And we're supposed to be going to sing carols at my grandmothers nursing home tomorrow, classical ballet solo choreography at 5:30 and dinner/visits with my mother in the evening.

INSTEAD we'll be going to minor treatment emergency first thing, keeping her home from school, doping her up on motrin.

Le sigh.

It's enough to make one want to snarf the entire very yummy candied/salted nut platter that ones husband brought home from his clients this evening.

But I won't

But oh I want to.

/rant/whine/feeling sorry for onesself

off to shower and bed.

hang in there!

I've been sick too - it's going around town. Achy, sore throat, headache, blech. I think I'll take a hot bath and stay in bed extra long tomorrow myself. I feel bloated or something too. All that to say I think I'm going through something similar so lets be whiny together.

CFmama - so glad you ranted. It helps to let it out. It's disappointing when plans are changed. Sorry DD is sick. I am glad you've been resisting the food. Hold on tight...and dig your heals into your plan. I know you can do it!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry that the sickness has found you and your daughter. I hope the weekend turns out to be restful and restoring.

Awww! Keep rested and feel better....

hang in there and be gentle with yourself..you will get through it in no time

Aw, prayers for your little one. And you too

I hope when you wake things are moving to a brighter day. Echoing Hang in there.

Hang in there! Wishing you and your daughter a speedy recovery.

I hope she feels better soon! Poor thing, I just had the sickies go through my three boys two weeks ago, it wasn't nice, so I feel for ya!
It's better to rant than snarf on those nuts!

Hope you two are better soon. I feel like I've been on the verge of a major knock down drag out nasty cold for a week now. I really can't afford to let it hit with full force, so I'm loading up on "gypsy cold care" tea and taking it slow in my minimal down time. Healing love for you and your little one!!!

Thanks ladies for all the healing vibes!!!

I'm doing better today. My little is healing... lots of rest, sleep, stories. You know the drill. I hoping she'll be okay by monday!

i;m sorry to hear your little girl's sick now that you're feeling better. Hugs.

but you know, if you can get through this and not binge, you can pretty much face anything and know that you dont need food to make you feel better.

Aw, I hope you and Madeline recover very quickly! But I agree with DisgruntledOne... at least you should be over all of this mess for Christmas!
