A Quick and Dirty Shout Out

I'm posting for no reason except to say hi, and for those of you stalking since the Wednesday Rant, my husband and I caught the kids' horrible stomach virus. The kids are all peachy, and we have been... holding it together. Here were my thoughts Sunday night:
"I'm breathing. I must be alive on some primal level."

Here were my thoughts Monday:
"There have been worse things in my life. None come to mind. I will pray for sleep, or a debilitating blow to the head until this is over."

Here were my thoughts Monday night:
"Will this ever be over? When will this be over? AHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Here are my thoughts today:
"I'm hungry. I'm a little too paralyzed by the terror of the past two days, so I won't eat... but I'm hungry. This is... better."

Here's hoping for a brighter tomorrow. And may it all end here... I can't think of an enemy deserving of this kind of torture. At least, none I'd name publicly or anything.

  2. Thanks for posting to say hi! I hope you feel better quick - it sucks being sick when you have kids. As Shannon Messenger would say, I'm sending you a great, big blug! ;)

  3. Pretty soon, a glass of flat gingerale will be your best friend. Enjoy it when you get there.

  4. Oy, hope you feel better soon. Although, there's nothing like the stomach flu to keep those extra holiday pounds at bay. Hey, I'm trying to be positive...

  9. You guys are all so awesome :) :)

    Thanks for the hugs Emily, *hugs* right back!

    Shannon, a "blug" sounds too cute, thank you! And you are so sweet, thank you for the award. It's really just what I needed today :)

    Liza, I'm having a glass right now, as a matter of fact. And you are so right, it really hits the spot.

    Steph, ha ha haa!!! Why not, right? I like positive thinking :)

    Thanks Mary, I hope so too! And ha ha! Quick and dirty to my pure and saintly mind means I have no time to look over what I'm posting, but don't tempt me baby!! *waggling eyebrows*

    Thanks Catherine, me too :) But crackers and stale soda are doing the trick.

  12. All giggles here. Your post made me laugh. Glad to see you can find the humor at death's door. Glad you're feeling better. Bigggg hug, coming back at you. (thank goodness it is an internet hug or I'd have to cover you in plastic to keep from catching the yucks)

  13. Aw, so sorry about the stomach flu! They are the absolute worst. Give me a fever and chills any day! (I know they accompany the stomach flu too - I just HATE the throwing up part)

  14. I'm glad that you're starting to feel better now. And it could have been worse. Imagine having this on Christmas Day.

  15. Angie- I'm feeling so much better, thank you :)

    Sesquip- Thanks, I'm happy to report I am on the mend. Woo hoo!

    Gwoe- Ahh, thanks for the hug. It was terrible... like I needed to be scraped off the bed with a spatula. But all is well now, yahooooooo!

    Sara- I so agree!! I can handle feeling like death warmed over... just not puking too! Blech :(

    Melissa- I was just thinking this a second ago, I kid you not. All that beautiful pie would have gone uneaten. I dodged a serious bullet :)

  16. Hey, Diana. Wave. I'm glad you're doing so much better. Beautiful pie going uneaten--would have been the height of wrongness.

    Whenever I get something vile, I always tell myself that I've now grown immune to it--and it'll never darken my door again. It's the consolation prize that is based on a false sense of security and flawed logic, but I don't care.

  17. Oh I hope you feel better soon. I'm getting over a virus of some kind myself. "Tis the season."

    Here's to a miraculous recovery for you, your hubby and me! **lifts Dr. Pepper and chugs**
