:yawn: Good morning to those who are up!

My youngest daughter woke up this morning vomiting. So, I've been giving baths, doing laundry and cleaning carpets for about 2 1/2 hours now. I attempted to work out but my daughter came down to the basement and vomited again, so I guess no exercise for me until she feels a little better.
It's hard because my day is gonna be so long and I know that I'm going to need to eat a little more. But because I can't exercise, I won't have those extra calories.:sad:

I love this site because there is always someone up!

Thanks for listening!

    Take care....

    heya! i'm sure all that extra housework MUST count for something!
    why don't you put in housework calories for 1 hours and see how much it counts for?

    Good idea!
    I'll check it out cus I need all the calories I can get.
    She seems to be feeling a little better but she also hasn't eaten yet. That will be the true test.

    Thanks ladies!

    here's another way to check calories burned....it has every activity I could ever possibly think of...to include bathing and grooming animals....and I would think kiddos would be included on the list somewhere as well

    Hope your daughter feels better.....:flowerforyou:

    Wow, that's too funny...not really, but I've been up since 4:00am with my 3 year old daughter. Fisrt she vomitted in her bed, then I gave her a bath and brought her into my bed, then she vomitted there, so again into the bath.........looks like a day of movie watching and laundry for me!!! At least my laundry machines are in the basement so I'll be running up and down the stairs all day!!! Hope your little one feels better soon!

    I'm so thankful we haven't had to deal with that this season (so far)...
