That’s what I feel like today. We took DH to the airport yesterday afternoon, stopped off to pick up a few things at Sam’s on the way home, came home, got ready, and went to our neighbor’s house for a crab boil. Last night definitely wasn’t clean, lol–the crab legs were probably OK, but the wine, jambalaya, and bread pudding weren’t! But they’re new neighbors, really nice, and it was worth the cheat to make some new friends. Got home around 9 p.m., put the kids to bed, and then went to see if I couldn’t find some chick flick to watch on TV. Around 10:30, I realized my body just ached. Neck, back, shoulders, elbow and knee joints. It literally came on in a matter of a few minutes.
I put myself right to bed, hoping it was because I wore heels all night at our neighbors’ (and knowing it wasn’t–I wear heels all the time). But I woke up feeling the same this morning. And here I am, home alone with 3 kids. Thankfully, they’re being really good today, although my house is beginning to look like a tornado blew through, and I don’t have the energy to do anything about it. This is the weirdest thing. I have no other symptoms, no cold symptoms, my stomach is fine, no fever, I just ache from head to toe, and I think if I didn’t have the kids to worry about, I could sleep for about 12 straight hours. Hmm!
I have been eating clean today, although probably not as many calories as I should. I don’t have the energy to make too much. After a lunch consisting of an ounce of turkey and a teaspoon of fat-free mayo on two slices of Ezekial bread, two ibuprofen, and a bottle of water with an Airborne tablet dissoved in it, I do actually feel a bit better. I just really hope I’m much better by tomorrow. My two older kids are off from school, I’m off from work, and I really want to take them to go do something fun! I wouldn’t dare drive today, the way I feel.
