I'm breaking the rules

It's against my better judgement but I just couldn't resist. I regret it but I can't change it now.

I'm SICK! I know it's against everything that 'motherhood' stands for. Mother's are NOT allowed the luxury of a sick day. I knew it was coming. I'd felt it for awhile & fought it off as long as I could.

I'd been fighting a sore throat for a couple weeks now. Halloween night was the kicker that did me in. We spent the night @ church for 'Trunk-r-Treat'. I felt like I was losing my voice. THen that night I could barely sleep because it felt like something was stuck in my throat all night.

The next day...I started feeling congested & coughing. It cleared up a bit during the day but by evening...it was getting worse. I finally broke down & took a Benadryl right before bed. Those things knock me out so I don't dare take them unless I'm planning on going to sleep. I can't afford to take it during the day.

I took it again last night. I'm hoping it will clear everything up for me before it get's totally BAD! I know I should probably take some 'cough medicine'...but you know how S really HATES to take liquid cough syrup? Well WHO do you think he inherited THAT from? :o/
