In the middle of being sick, do you ever have those moments where you’re like “Will I ever be well again?  I took for granted being well!”  Plus, I spent two days unable to talk – it made me feel so cut off from the world.  I couldn’t even parent!  My children are used to a vocal mom and they don’t usually voluntarily watch and quietly listen as I boss them around, lol. Although toward the end of the first day, they had adapted and were very acommodating to me

LOL.  I don’t get really sick very often.  If I do, it’s a little cold that lasts a day or so.  But on Christmas day, I started to feel blah and my voice was gone by Christmas evening.  And then the next two days I spent feeling horrible!  Saturday, I spent mostly sleeping in bed every few hours.  Sunday, I ventured out of my bedroom but stayed firmly planted on the couch, going in and out of consciousness there, too. lol.  I looked a SIGHT as well – really lovely … not! Hubman and my parents were great, thank goodness, or I think this sickness would have hung around even longer. I’m so glad my folks live close-by again!

Aside from having a hideous cough that would make anyone is my 20 foot radius run, I’m feeling a lot better.  Alas, this means I haven’t exercised since the 23rd!  It has now been FOUR DAYS and I know my lungs/chest/cough aren’t up to doing jumping jacks today either.  I did plan from bed this morning on taking the kids for a walk.  However, gazing outside I see how the roads are still icy.  … hm…

Anywho, I want to give a shout out to TAMMY for having Shredded so consistently and it’s been paying off because the girl is dropping the pounds and looking hotter than ever!  Check her out here!
