I got hit by a truck.

The name of the truck?

The flu.

I feel like someone ran over my body TWICE with a huge truck. My entire body aches, I'm sneezing, coughing, stuffy and I have NO ENERGY.

DJ has been taking care of himself all day. He even managed to bring me a glass of water in his spider man cup. He is so sweet.

Please tell me the flu doesn't last long. Any remedies?

I feel like sugar, honey, iced tea right now.

I'm sorry to hear that! I think we exhausted ourselves this weekend and our immune systems are all weak. My throat still hurts but I'm just hoping I don't get any worse. Little B is sick though, and I had to pick him up from school today.

Michele said...

Me too! I have a sore throat, achy body and congestion. My girls are also sick, so maybe something is just going around. Made chicken egg drop soup tonight and tomorrow I'm making homemade chicken noodle soup. If I still lived in San Diego, I'd drive it up to you!

I was only hit by that truck once. It lasted for about 24 hours. I couldn't even move my toes because it would hurt! Hope you feel better soon.

The only remedy is bed rest and lots of it. Get better!

Your body is probably run down from all that traveling you have been doing recently. I think the only thing that can help you at this point is REST. Or you can do what Dwayne does, take 1 TheraFlu add 5 ounces of boiling water, one shot of liquor (your choice), a splash of lemon juice, and two teaspoons of honey. Be sure you have someone to take care of DJ because it will put you out but once you get it in you, you will be straight. I hope you feel better!

I knew it! With the lack of sleep, constant running and travel (recycled airplane cabin air, anyone?) I had a feeling the trip would knock some of us for a loop. I've been fighting something since we got back but so far, I'm good. Feel better, Ladies!

(And Sheliza is very correct. Theraflu is a wonder drug! Never thought of adding the shot of liquor though. That's going on my remedy list!)

Despite the exhausting weekend, I'd still do it again in a hearbeat ;-D

Remedy: sugar, honey HOT tea!

I agree with Sheliza, THERAFLU!

She Needs said...

I hope you feel better soon, but I love how little boys try so hard to take care of their mommies when we are down. I love them.
Get lots of rest.

Yolanda said...

Oh Tanyetta I'm so so sorry you've gotten the flu! You poor thing- try to rest up and feel better soon. I'm still mad that I let them give me a flu shot the other day, I've been feeling like crud ever since.

Ms. Behaving said...

Ouch...

Been there, done that and don't wanna relive it!

Hope you feel better Tanyetta.

(((HUGS)))

AWW girl i know the feeling! Feel better soon. I was in the same place last week. Only my doc said it wasnt the flu it is a viral cold. I didnt have a voice and stayed in bed for 3 days straight.
tea, lemon and honey and some vicks vapor rub always helps. Oh and goood antibiotic.

jinille said...

Sorry to hear that you have the bug! Hope you feel better real soon! :-)

Keelah said...

I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather. (what does that mean...UNDER the weather) Hmmmm...maybe you can ponder that during your down time. That is so sweet of DJ to take care of mama like that! Feel better soon!

Sarah Jewel said...

I feel ya on being sick! I have about the worst cold I've ever had in my life (and all three of us got it!).
Aside from rest and theraflu, Make sure you're getting zinc and vitamin C and eat as much (preferably RAW) garlic as you can manage. I chew up a clove (you can buy frozen pre-diced cubed of it at henrys and sprouts and such) and chase it with milk (to cut the burn - I'm a wimp) but it does WONDERS. Garlic is a natural antibiotic/antiviral. It's fantactis for you (maybe not your breath, but you're sick, who do you need to impress right now anyway?).
Get better so we can go to the thrift stores! :)

Salesdiva said...

I hope you feel better soon.

Kimberly/Mom in the City said...

Oh no...the flu! I had that last year and it was the WORST. Hopefully you'll feel better in a few days. You're in my prayers!

Ask Ms Behaving...she'll tell ya-this remedy WILL put hairs on your chest...but WILL knock that flu right outta ya!....

You'll need: rum or brandy, lemon or lime juice, a lil bit of salt, some honey....mix it all up in a cup..and drink...head to bed....in the AM...you'll feel a lil better...repeat for a 2nd night-you'll be right as rain!!

My Granny swears by it...(it's absolutely horrid to the taste though!) good luck!!
