ebshot - 2010-02-22 12:13 PM Awww heck.  Liam has strep and possible scarlet fever and I have to take Cole in to the doctor later today.  The school nurse called while I was in the waiting room with Liam saying he had a nasty looking throat.  Talking with the doctor about Cole's symptoms and the doctor said to bring him in ASAP.  There is something about this time of year that does not agree with my kids.  Cole is sick almost every year this time.  His birthday is Sunday and since his first birthday, he's been sick just about every year.  Very weird.
Scarlet fever? I didn't think kids got that anymore..... Hm. Wikipedia, here I come.... "Scarlet fever is a disease caused by exotoxin released by Streptococcus pyogenes. The term scarlatina may be used interchangeably with scarlet fever, though it is commonly used to indicate the less acute form of scarlet fever that is often seen since the beginning of the twentieth century.... "Other than the occurrence of the diarrhea, the treatment and course of scarlet fever are no different from those of any strep throat. In case of penicillin allergy, clindamycin or erythromycin can be used with success. Patients should no longer be infectious after taking antibiotics for 24 hours. Persons who have been exposed to scarlet fever should be watched carefully for a full week for symptoms, especially if aged 3 to young adult." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_fever

I didn't think so either.  Who knew?

Not so fun fact but I had scarlet fever as a kid.  Guess he's following in my footstep????

billsorg - 2010-02-22 9:25 AM I'll add to the puke stories... my 12-year-old is puking today.  This is my daughter that has cerebral palsy.  These stomach bugs really hit her hard.  She's non-verbal, so we can't always tell when she feels yucky.  But there's no mistaking it when the bed & floor are all pukey.  BLLLEECCCHHHH!  Anyway, it's going to be a long day for my wife at home.  I think I'll pick up dinner from our favorite italian restuarant on the way home tonight.

I got in ZEEEERO workouts this weekend.  I planned on doing a 1 hr drainer ride followed by 1/2 hr on the dreadmill yesterday, but I was a little hungover from our first adults night out in forever.  But it was worth it!  I'll hit the gym for a 5-6 mile run at lunch.  Go Hugs.

Missed this the first time but Bryan brought home dinner tonight and it meant A LOT to me.  After an insane day, no one wants to cook dinner.  I'm sure your wife appreciated it too!

How's your daughter?

And I haven't gotten a workout done in two days either.  First time in a long time.

Yup, you're at least 4 pages up on the Hearts and have about double the Kisses. I know that 1+ page per day is not up to your usual potential, but it's still pretty impressive to me.

Heard a quip about this on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me yesterday and thought of you Dee!!

 

Music fans who spend hours selecting their perfect jogging playlist now face a new dilemma. What track to listen to as you Taser someone?

A combined stun gun-MP3 player may well be the most bizarre gadget to be unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The device - formally known as the Taser Music Player Holster - has already earned the nickname the iTaser.

Stun gun-MP3 player????????????????????????????????????????? I WANT ONE! No no no.... I WANT THREE! Do they come in COLORS????
I so want that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^.




It has your name on it Dee!!

Morning Hugs.  I have bad news.  I am gonna have to either pull out or revise my goal.  No way I can run with my sick crew.  Nicole, can I switch my love goal from running to biking?  I can bike away on the trainer!

Canceled our hotel reservation for Hyannis.  Bryan is still gonna run (as long as he isn't sick!) and the kids and I are gonna cheer our heads off (as long as we aren't sick).  No race for me.   Bummed out but I am switching my focus to my HIM.  No point in crying over it, right?

billsorg - 2010-02-22 9:45 AM Holy crap... where did the month go?  I just realized I have to run about 26 miles this week to make goal!  How did that happen???  Here's the plan...

Mon - 6 mi @ lunchtime
Wed - 8 mi in the morning
Thur - 6 mi @ lunchtime
Sat - 6 mi when I can squeeze it in
I feel your pain... I have a 20 mile "date" tonight with my husband and our trainers... I figure I need to do 10 trainer miles A DAY until the end of the month to make my goal. Not impossible, since I have lots of 24 stacked up to watch... We can do it!!!
For added incentive... wouldn't it be awesome if we DID it and the HUGS pulled out a victory? No one will see us coming!

x2 - I'm planning on hitting 105%+ to do my part to give the team an extra boost.  Keep at it Hugs and don't give up! 

X3!

So let's get healthy and finish out this week strong everyone! For those that are healthy...try to put in that little bit more for those that can't reach their goal! That is why we are a team!!!

Rachel is all better... thanks for asking.  She just had the 24 hour bug and is off to school this morning.  Yes, the dinner was a big hit.  Hope everyone in your crew is feeling better.

Morning, hugs...  I'll be hitting the gym at lunch for a spin class.  Then I'm back on the treadmill tomorrow morning for my 8 mile run. 

This has been a tough month for our group with illnesses, injuries and the dreaded February winter blues.  But we're still within striking distance of winning this thing, so that's a testament to the "Huggie Toughness"!  Hang in there hugs and finish strong!

We're getting 1-2 inches of rain... yes, that's right... I said RAIN!  Yippee! Wash away all this nasty white stuff!

Sad to hear about the race.  Its always a disappointment went things don't work out but you have to work with what life throws at you. Hope everyone gets better soon and good luck with the revised goals.

Keep smiling, it makes the bad seem not so bad.

Got my run in last night.  Things are looking good for my goals this month.  I might have to step up my posting to get my goal for posts this month though.

I'm kind of feeling like my legs need a break but I think I'm going to push for another run today so I can get one up on the challenge. You never know what will happen tomorrow. Plus I can't swim yet so that's not an option. I'm really missing the swim too.

Holy cow, I am exhausted.  I can't tell if I am getting sick or just beat down from the past few days.  I am hoping just tired.  I tried to ride the trainer but couldn't.  I'm off to rest.

I got in a pretty intense spin class at lunchtime and now I'm completely whooped.  I just got some coffee (usually a no-no for me in the afternoon!) so I can stay awake for Lost tonight.  Then the alarm will be set for 5:15 for my 8 mile run in the morning... BRING IT!  5 days to go and 17 miles to run in February!

BTW... has anyone heard from Andy (ashort33)?  He's always been one of our most "vocal" teammates, but we haven't heard from him in quite a while.  I see he still has recent workouts in his logs... Andy... are you out there???

Got swim #8 of 8 in today.  Since I am not going to the Cape until Sunday morning I am hoping to fit another swim in sometime before the challenge is over to bring it up to 105%.

VERY EXCITED!  My new saddle has arrived!  I got an ISM Adamo Ergonomical Road Saddle and will be installing it tonight.  I'm looking forward to taking my old, hard-as-concrete, a**-breaking, saddle and tossing it!  Maybe I'll burn it!

Another 8.4k for me today...26k remaining, should be do-able. 

Sorry to hear about the injuries, illnesses, etc.  For those of us remaining, we need to pick up the slack for our teammates.   Next month, it might be reversed!

Go Hugsters Go!!!

You need to REST. NOW is a good time. Your family will not be able to function if you get sick! Who will clean up the puke?... I mean, who will make sure the kids get plenty of fluids and care?
