ok, first a question. does weightloss due to illness count as actual weightloss? i am not sure, but i'll take what i can get at this point. we haven't abided by the eating or workout plan one bit this week, which makes week number 2 of falling off the wagon. with that being said, let me explain the earlier question. our kids were sick with the flu from last friday through monday. things looked up on tuesday, so off to daycare they went. flash forward to thursday night. claire woke up vomitting and continued to do so four times in three hours. it was awful. a skinny kid like that certainly cannot afford to lose any of the morsels she consumes. anyway, mya was the same story--vomitting two times thursday night. this has continued through saturday. i was lucky enough to catch a bit of their issues this time around. i started feeling sick on friday night and was pretty much tied to the bathroom all day yesterday. i was miserable. the sad thing is that misery isn't really an option when you have two small children. chris was great after i finally told him that i needed to lay down, but he was trying like everything to get us moved out of this house. it has been quite the adventure. anyway, he wore alot of hats yesterday...daddy, nurse, moving guy, laundry guy, and errand boy. i am pleased to say that i feel so much better today and so far so good with both claire and mya. with that i leave you with my overall weightloss of 8 pounds. not bad considering there was almost a week of gain and a week to lose that gain. i am pleased. once we are settled into our new place and life gets a bit back to normal, we will jump on that wagon again. until then, we are praying for a few weeks without illness.
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
