POST IT, POST IT, POST IT <-- Sneaky invisible font for subliminal Ghoulish messages! hehehe.

skrtrnr - 2009-10-13 8:00 AM thanks for all the GHOULISH WELL WISHES 

back from the Docs.  no trip to the hospital necessary.  woosh.   they way my son was talking/sounding this morning i was thinking pneumonia.

but, thankfully his lungs sounded clear, that it was more post-nasal drip than anything else causing his coughing.

Doc said its definately viral. 

we just wait it out, if his symptoms worsen or the fever gets higher or lasts longer than 5 days, we should come back in for a re-check.

my youngest seems OK after his dose of ibuprofen.

so i guess thats it.  hospital visit/stay avoided.  YAY!

its a TV/Movie watching laying the couch drinking Gatorade eating popsicles sipping chicken broth kinda of day.


and im SO gonna be NEEDING  a run when DH gets home.

either a 5 miler or 45 min tempo.  we'll see what im up for.


caring for the kids, but staying healthy is myself is a priority, then fitting in my run wrkouts, whatever else i can manage to fit in is a bonus.  not gonna stress.  lots of rest.  fluids.  handwashing.


im sure ill be back here when im goin stir crazy.  :}

stacieb

Stacie, I am so glad to hear that all is Ok. 

Did they decide to test him for H1N1, even given his underlying health problems? Or did his symptoms not quite fit? 

Keep washing those hands, and changing those hand towels frequently!

Vitamin D, vitamin C, some Airborne, or Emergen-C, fish oil, all that good stuff for you and for them! 

Oh, and don't forget the running! Running is always good! (for you, not them)  

OK. On tap for today:

Drive kid #1 to school. Check

Kid #2 nebulizer treatment, then drive to school. Check.

Feed self. Check.

Organize the pile of mail/papers on the counter, pay any bills found.

Find paychecks.

Go to bank.

Post office.

RUN. 

NOOOOOOOOO!

The contractor that is working on our basement just stopped by. Apparently there is an inspection by the city today. I now can't leave until they have come and gone. The catch: they don't know when it is. I called the city, and all they can confirm is the day. They can't even say if it's morning or afternoon. 

AAAARRRRGH! (did I mention this project was started in July and was supposed to be a 3-5 week project. Oh, and the inspection is for electrical, framing, plumbing, and HVAC, and all the drywall is already up and painted? I found a prize contractor, apparently.)

But on the bright side,

Stacie, looks like I'll be keeping you company today.

nice job Melissa!!!!! and even with your busy schedule! KIU!!!!!!!!

now I just ate breakfast....but I could eat again! any leftovers???? sounds scrumptious!

disturbed275 - 2009-10-12 4:16 AM Should be an interesting week for me.  I'll be working 60-70 hours as opposed to my normal 40 and workouts will have to occur in the morning or else they won't get done.  Gulp!  Wish me luck!

YOU WILL RUN....

I mean...

GOOD LUCK!

why you working sooooooooooooo many hours this week? Im tired for you and Katie! between you both..I think you work more hours in a week together then I do all summer! maybe I need to work more!

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katie has me beat hands down.  This is a once a year occurrence.  We bring in some japanese consultant and run like 5 different focused groups to drive changes throughout the plant.  Good times. 

sounds interesting...now what kind of plant you working for? and are the focus groups keeping your focus?? hope it is not one of those groups where you need the toothpicks to keep the eyes propped open! and these groups are going to last all week long? now thats one heck of a focus group!!!

We are a chemical manufacturing plant.  And yes, we will be working alllllll week long.  Luckily we only put in 11 hours today.  Tomorrow could get ugly

heres hoping to a NON ugly day!   hope the focus groups....keep your focus! dont be thinking about all the fun chatter you will be missing on BT...ok!???

serendipity - 2009-10-12 1:53 PM Post-nap drive-by!  No bike (yet).  Might just skip the workout today.

Started marinating some chicken satay for dinner.  Now all I have to do is remember to cook it!

A bit groggy....

computers are great for pulling up recipes! or did you remember???

you feeling any better??? if not....I COMMAND YOU TO GO BACK TO BED and order some type of delivery! well Stacie will you command her to do so!??? I forgot Im not the queen-B BT!

I did remember, and dinner came out pretty good, too.

Feeling a bit better.  Ear seems to be okay, and I only cough when I laugh. 

Going to bed early.  We are having the inspection done on the house we are buying tomorrow morning.  Need to be awake for that.

Glad your ear is better and if it hurts when laughing...NO LAUGHING ALLOWED!!!

hope your inspection is going or went well!!!! and pictures of the new home??? would love to see it!

deehtz - 2009-10-12 7:23 PM Thanks Ghoulies for all the entertainment in the thread.

I was out of town for the weekend so could only check in occasionally.  However I did get in a run this morning.  It went really well. 

This weekend DH and I went to the beach with friends to ride our quads on the dunes.  Friday night - ST at hotel.  Saturday and Sunday -  rode quads on the sand dunes  -  my favorite!   Beautiful blue skies, mid 60s, gorgeous ocean views, green hill top views, and lots of sand dunes to ride!!  Definitely a Workout!! 

Then my jog this morning.  And this evening all of the entertaining material on this thread.
  Whee hee!!                            oh yes, and a massage this afternoon. 

looks like you had a gorgeous day for your quad riding!!!! and a good time to be had!!! sooo how was the massage...all nice and relaxed now!??

Not sure...I use my husbands goodies to warm up! HAHA
