Haven't blogged in a few days... I blame it on this dag blamed cough/cold, I just can't seem to get rid of... Over the last week..many many coughing fits, not to mention the unbelievable amounts of mucus, I am blowing out of my nose! I swear I don't think I have ever blown my nose so much. And the way I have been coughing, you would think, I have been a chain smoker all my life, which is NOT, the case. I have hardly ever touched cigarettes, now or in the past. Both my parents, when I as young were avid smokers, as many were in the 1970's. I however,hated it with a passion,I would find my parents cigarettes and um....dispose of them....which at the time to me meant a "search and destroy mission". Found them, and smashed them.... And threw them in the trash.
So for the past week, I sound sick, and get looks of course, when my coughing fits, make an appearance at any public place, I seem to go. So around Wednesday, I decided, I would try one of the leftover packets of prednisone, we had left in our medicine cabinet, in the hopes this would dry up the mucus. Instead, the coughing and nose blowing remain, however, there are new menacing problems... And not just menacing for me.. Most likely way more menacing for those around me... My poor family or any poor soul who has the misfortune
of ticking me off..... With the steroids have come headaches, and a very MOODY me.. Bump
me.. I get ill, take too long in line.... I get ill. I had a little ol lady in front of me in line at the Food Lion, she had a box of cereal, which she found a small hole in the bottem.... She had already taken WAY too long in line with her, 2.5 items.. She was on my list! She turns to me, shoves the box into my hands and says...and i quote "Go! Get me another box,AND, make sure it is the same" WHAT?! I held my tongue, after all, I couldn't let my wrath loose on the poor little old woman.. So I leave my cart, and stomp begrudgingly, to the cereal isle. Find her cereal, make sure I get the same size, and kind! Then trudge, mumbling to myself, under my breath, of how mad this has just made me, and how much longer, I was now in the store.. Ugggg.. Getting back to said little ole lady, I force a smile, and say " Here you go Mam". (this was hard in my current state of mind. To top it off, she then spends the next 3 minutes, digging in her purse for her rewards card! Just use mine... I must have said 4 times... This lady was pushing her luck.. Lol.. Finally! It was MY TURN! And then of course a 2 and 4 year old don't get it... Mommy doesn't feel good... I don't want someone constantly on my lap, or climbing on me... AND the noise! They seem to be way more
rambunctious this weekend... My normal voice this weekend has become a high pitched yell... Stop... Quit..don't throw that..don't hit, each other....and SHARE! This weekend it just seems as everything is 10x more annoying than normal..... And of course, still coughing...yay!
My husband has been very helpful, trying to keep the boys at a low rumble.. I have 2 more days of the steroid regimen left..... Wish them luck... Lol
