The Doctor's In

I have a cough.

It prefers to come in groups of fifty or more.

OK, so that's exaggerating a little. I cough consistently throughout the day and occasionally have what I refer to as coughing fits. So far, my inhaler is the only thing that works to stop the fits.

I haven't slept through the night in over a week. I am VERY tired and just a little cranky.

However...

I have managed to repaint two walls in my house.

Priorities, people.

Then today I went to the doctor. She gave me some nose spray because she believes the coughing is due to post nasal drip. And when she asked if there was anything else I wanted, I replied, "sleep". To which she graciously wrote a prescription for some heavy duty cough syrup to be taken at night.

I returned home, put on a movie for the kids, and fell asleep on the couch. My husband came home at noon, fixed the kids lunch, and started the dish washer. I moved to the bed and don't remember anything else till 1:30 when I was awakened by yet another coughing fit.

Talking makes it worse so I'm thinking of taking a vow of silence for the next few days.

And making all the kiddos participate as well. ;-)

Like I could make that happen. My kids will talk to a brick wall if they think it's listening.

Anywho...

here's to a good night's sleep.
