Phlegm and the working mother........

Ah....the cold saga. Continues... I haven't had a fever... A little bit of a sore throat..usually at night.. But the phlegm...or really let's just call it what it is SNOT! Seriously..when I was little I heard from someone...I can't remember if it was my parents, or who it was... But.. I was told mucus was made by brain cells, that were dead or dying, that your body is expelling. Well let me tell you if that were the truth, as long as I have had this I would be legally brain dead! My nose literally hurts from the impacted boogers and crap in it... I have used decongestants, expectorants, nasal sprays...trying upon time and again to get it out. Short of trying the Nettie Pot, that everyone has suggested, which if you ask me, is just water boarding yourself! So not up to that just yet.. I may get that desperate! And being a mom to a 2 and 4 year old while sick, is no walk in the park either. I am the type of person, that when I am sick, I want to be alone! Asleep, cuddled up, with the my most favorite pillow, and blanket. Kids don't seem to understand that concept. In there mind it is play time...and if mom is laying down, HOW FUN would it be to make HER, our personal jungle gym?! Not one thing is relaxing about that.. It would be perfect if they would lay down and cuddle with me! No such luck. Not to mention the MOMMY..MOMMY MOMMY... Can you get me juice....Mommy I can'tfind my favorite car.. Mommy! Come see.... And it rings and rings in your ears....MOMMY..MOMMY.. Even when you do get to sleep... You hear it in your dreams.. And wake up thinking they are yelling for you. You jump up... HUH WHAT....WHO IS YELLING?! Work doesn't stop when you are sick either... There is laundry.. My extra money job of cleaning the office of my full time job, waits for no one... It has to be done.... Not something you want to conquer with a head that feels the size of a good year balloon... But it was done... As well as Monday always happens, even when you are sick! What is up with that anyway? No fair.. I cry foul... When you are sick..especially when you are a mom.. Time should stop.. And you get your feel better time.. All else waits! But alas that is but a dream....see y'all at work tomorrow....coughing, hacking, blowing my nose and all.. Nit nite.. Until on of the kids wakes up tonight and needs me.....sigh.......
