... And call me in the morning. Seriously, that is how I feel right now. I woke up Tuesday morning with a really stuffed nose, but chalked it up to allergies. I got ready for work and took an Allergy pill and didn't think anything of it. Then BAM! at 2:00pm the stuffy and runny (not sure how that works and it pisses me off) nose started and then the headache and pressure joined in. I ended up leaving work around 3:30pm. I realized at that time that I really need to get this cold fixed before next week when I will be at work alone.
So I took the dreaded pills the doctor gave me for clearing the nasal passages and anything else. Let me just let you know, these are horse pills that smell so horrendous you gag the entire time you are trying to take them. And then the taste lingers on your tongue and you have to hurry and eat something to avoid the stench. (And worst of all, the pills make your pee smell, so whenever you go to the bathroom your are rewarded by that horrible stench - which makes you gag all over again). Needless to say it is not a pleasant experience.
Anyway, the dreaded pills didn't clear anything up. I was miserable all afternoon and into the night. And I didn't sleep well because I couldn't breathe - it sucked! And today - two days later - I still have the dreaded cold and I don't think it has gotten any better.
Yesterday I had to stop and buy drugs (DayQuil - which I don't think is helping) and Kleenex's with lotion (which again I don't think are working because my nose is so sore and raw I get tears every time I have to blow it).
I want to go home and sleep, but I can't because my nose is too stuffed and I have work to get done - children to save and all. Somebody better appreciate all the work I'm doing!

I appreciate your work, saving the children and all. You are amazing, I understand your pain and hope your cold goes away quickly! This is the first chance I have had to read and catch up on blogs. I don't really get much done in a day's time, but the day seems to be over when I glance back. Poor Howie, I think he is going stir-crazy! I can't find enough things for him to do in a day. We look forward to Thursdays when Tommy is off from work and school, then we get out and do things. LIvie is officially two weeks old today. I guess while she is sleeping, I should post some photos.
Wishing you well, hope work slows a little and that your cold goes away!
