A dull and dreary dismal day

We've been SO sick this weekend. Especially me, to the point where I lost 8 pounds over 2 days which sounds kind of awesome until you stop and think about it for a few minutes. Today's Kitchen Party post is up and about my not-so-irrational dread of the upcoming March Break, which sounds like just the thing to read on a grey and stormy Monday.

Oh, dear! That sounds terrible to be so sick!

Please take it easy, Beck. Lots of rest and fluids. Wish I could bring you a pot of soup.

Love and Prayers,

Kim

I am SO sorry! That's awful. This has been a tough winter for your family healthwise. I hope spring comes soon and you are back on your feet.

Off to read the kitchen post!

And on a happy note, that picture is beautiful. Feel better soon.

Veronica Mitchell said...

Sick here too. Blech.

cinnamon gurl said...

Oh Beck, that sucks! I hope you feel better AND have an utterly unremarkable and fun March Break!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Boats said...

Get better quick girl!

crazymumma said...

Oh sweetie. You are dehydrated. Gatorade now. I know it is vile but you need the electrolytes.

JenKneeBee said...

Oh that sounds dreadful!
Feel better soon!

jen said...

Kathryn said...

The stomach bug has made its way into my house too...boohoo! I hope your feeling better very soon!

Kathryn said...

Ack! 8 pounds in 2 days sounds pretty scary!

ewe are here said...

That's no way to lose weight...sounds dreadful. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Pieces said...

I'm so sorry that you have all been sick. The Loved had a nasty stomach bug and somehow the rest of us escaped from it unscathed. I hope this is the last winter illness for your family!

Angeline said...

Oh my! what a terrible way to lose the extra pound.

Please get well soon....

Will be in my prayers.

Julie Pippert said...

I never envy people who lose weight from being sick. I'm so sorry!

I hope it's not dehydration.

Take care, and get well soon.

Jenifer said...

Soup, you need soup!

Feel better.

;)

Tracey said...

Honey, I wished you lived closer! I'd stop by and help. Hope you get better soon...

Glass Half Full said...

I pray for better days soon....

Bon said...

a small, screwed up part of my brain thinks nah, the 8 pounds sounds great no matter how they came off. but then i came to my senses. poor Beck and her intestines.

hydrate and rest, friend.

Lisa Milton said...

Oh no. It got you!

Hope you feel better soon...

letter9 said...

In Hollywood I think they would accuse you of binge eating, only losing 8 pounds in 2 days. What are you, some kind of voracious, water-drinking, spinach-eating SLACKER?

I hope you're able to stay sick awhile or you just might never measure up. Or down, I guess.

(JUST KIDDING! FEEL BETTER!)

Susan said...

I'm bumming with you that ya'll have been so sick! Surely the end is nigh. Hang in there and rest (as much as a mom with three kids CAN rest!)

Alice Gunther said...

We just went through the same thing! Lots of illness here.

Praying for you!

Hairline Fracture said...

'm so sorry. That's just miserable.

Yamile said...

I'm so sorry Beck! I was sick this last weekend too, I guess I had to say farewell to February with a fanfarre because I lost 5 pounds in two days (and I only weighed 115 to start with; and no, I'm not bragging. I'm only 5 feet tall). My SIL took my two middle kids, My oldest was at school, and the baby slept all day with me. I was feeling a lot better in the evening, but the weakness continues until today...A couple of pounds have come back, but what I need is my energy!!!!
Hang in there and take care!!!

flutter said...

oh just knock it off with the sick already!!!!

sheeeeesh ;)

Amanda said...

Oh please feel better.

Stacy said...

Wow, a sickly winter at Casa Beck. May spring come swiftly!

Reluctant Housewife said...

Oh no! hope you feel better soon (or even better - that you're already better).

PastorMac's Ann said...

Aw Beck, I'm so sorry that you're sick. That is no fun.

Last fall we passed around strep throat for three months before we banished it.

Praying that Spring brings warm weather and health to your family.

Angela said...

Feel better!

Lisa b said...

ug. You all have been so unlucky this winter
bring on spring!

Fairly Odd Mother said...

Feel better soon! Spring will come and sweep all these germs away! (at least that is what I'm hoping!)

Tammy said...

Oh no...I'm so sorry you are so sick! Not the nice wawy to lose lbs at all! I really hope your whole family is feeling better soon...what a bad winter you all have had! We had one or two like that before, too. Hopefully, this spring will be so much better for you all!

susiej said...

I'm sorry -- 8 pounds... you must feel awful. Lemon barley water is supposed to be good to get your strength back.

Jennifer said...

Yikes. I hope the girls don't get it - or have they already? Poor things, they are having a rough time of it.

I cannot imagine what you have to do to lose 8 lbs in 2 days. It doesn't sound good. What is UP? It's like a National Emergency - Flu is EVERYWHERE!!! Is it coming through the internet or something???? We're wiped out down here, too. We've had a rough Jan - Feb, but I'm hoping spring will blow fresh air through and cure us all.

Of course, spring does bring allergies, and we are sufferers here. I fall for it every year -"Oh, it feels so good outside! Lets open ALL the windows ALL NIGHT!"

Now THAT is the last joke of winter for ya, right there. I think he's in cahoots with spring and they are over there somewhere slappin' their knees.

Feel so much better so very soon, Beck.

Jenni said...

Oh yuck! I'll be praying for ya' (and for more warm days).

chickadee said...

i'm so sorry you're sick.

Morning said...

Oh, how terrible -- get well soon. If it help, think of all the delicious goodies you'll just HAVE to scoff to build up your strength again.

chelle said...

eeps feel better!

Ashlee said...

So sorry you are sick! Hopefully all is well soon!

Katrina said...

Oh no, I am so sorry that you guys are sick again. 8 lbs in 2 days? Yikes. Get yourself better, soon! And stay that way for a while -- you deserve some healthy time!

Shalee said...

No, I'd take the 8 pounds over 2 days. Take it easy, and have Hubs make dinner for the next few days!
