Well the good news is I lost 4 pounds in 24 hours!!! Yeah me!

You might be asking yourself: "Hey what's her secret?" "What is this miracle diet??!" It's called the fucking flu!! And oh my goddess did it suck big time!

Hubby got it first on New Years Eve. Poor guy was up all night and I felt really bad for him. Unfortunately I was up all night too, trying to block out the sound! At around 4am I rolled into the spare bedroom to try and get a little shut eye before the boys got up at 7am. Well I got maybe an hour or so of sleep in when E woke up puking. Poor guy, brought him into the spare bedroom with me and tried in vain to collect the projectile vomit that was spewing out of him. Of course this was followed a couple hours later by L puking in his crib!

We ran out of puke-free places to hang out in upstairs, so i moved the twins downstairs. Pulled out the sickbed, (sofa-sleeper) in the family room, grabbed about a hundred towels and tried to do as much damage control as possible. Hubby still passed out upstairs. I was doing ok for a few hours, but then it started to hit me too. Got the queezies, mouth started watering all weird like, got clammy, you know the feeling.

I realized I was in big trouble when I got a whiff of two diapers that needed to be changing! This was no ordinary diaper, mind you, it was the sick shits, the really foul- smelling stuff that will melt your eyebrows. My gag reflex started to kick in. Thank god dh came down and was able to help me change them. My eyes where watering the whole time, but I managed to keep from throwing up.

When it did hit me, it was like no flu I've ever had. So violent! I was like a volcano exploding out of both ends. I would break out in an intense, slick sweat just before and have to take off half my clothes from the heat. Immediately afterwards I would break out in chills and could not get warm, no matter how many layers I put on. It was beyond miserable. I don't cry often from pain, but this had me in tears. Even after the nausea/exploding diarrhea wore off, the aches in my joints remained. My hair follicles hurt, I swear to you and I really thought I was dying. Gads the flu is nasty business! As far as flu's go it was fairly fast, but the really bad ones usually are.

Nothing like shitting water and throwing up bile to ring in the New Year, dontcha think?

I just found out that Elvis Jr. is back at Heartbreak Hotel (hospital) and is back to her old ways. I will have to write about this tomorrow when I can give it the time it needs.
