I woke up this morning with what feels like a double ear infection and possibly the beginning of strept throat. Ive had it so many times that I can pretty much call it very early on. Needless to say I was too dizzy to even walk and had to stay in bed all day. I slept all day, only got up long enough to go to the bathroom twice and then back down I went. I feel like giving up. I havent seen any weight loss in a week, due to many things... Period, being sick etc. I know its water weight because I have been doing really well on eating and working out, but its still depressing. I feel like if I'm sick all week that I wont lose any more, and I know I'll want to give up. Plus, t.m.i. but I havent had a b.m. in a week... I'm miserable right now. I feel useless and like I'm depending too much on my husband to take care of things. He took care of the daycare all by himself today so that we wouldnt have to close... how lucky am I? I just need to feel better, start and go...... Is that so much to ask??????? Anyway, I am not going to be able to be very upbeat and supportive today, so I wont comment on anyones journals.... I'd do more harm then good and I would never want to do that to any of my very much loved friends. I hope your all having a better day then I am.

Hi! Sorry to hear you\'re sick. The good news about strep throat is you can get some antibiotics and zap it pretty quickly. When I was teaching 1st graders I had it constantly until I got my tonsils out.... something to consider down the road??? Anyway, this too shall pass and you will be right in the game again and feel like your fantastic self. We are the incredible shrinking women ya know! Take care of yourelf we are here for you.

Ohhh poor baby.... have you tried to take a stool softener? When I started increasing my fiber I had the same problem, and if I don\'t get enough water during the day, the same thing happens, so I keep softeners on hand at all times..... and yeah.. you\'re husband rocks... I thought mine was the only one who would sacrifice his day for the betterment of the \"daycare\".... Hope all is well tomorrow, and I hope you\'ll stick it out with us.. through thick and thin sister!
