Triaminic, You’re My Hhhhero!
You know, peach oatmeal and French Vanilla coffee make a pretty good combination. I’m trying to eat/drink warm things to soothe my shredded throat. I had the worst cough I’ve ever had last night, and then again this morning. The type of cough that makes you wretch and double-over. The type of cough that makes your throat feel like it’s on fire and your chest feel like it’ll implode. My stomach feels sore, like I’ve done 1,000 crunches for the first time in 6 exercise-less months. I hate this kind of cough.
The only medicines I had were Robitussin Cough, which was an expectorant, which causes you to cough more and hell no, I didn’t need that one. Second choice was the boys’ Cough and Cold Triaminic. I was so desperate I downed what I estimated to be about 3 tablespoons and lo and behold, I stopped coughing completely within 20 minutes. Thank GOD. I need to remember to buy some more–it always works for the kids (it’s even worse to see them with this kind of cold).
I’m so sleepy. I had about 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep, but I could have gone for more. After Eenan called and came back from sleeping over at Mary’s at around 8a.m., I couldn’t get back to sleep. During the little rest I tried to get between the bouts of cough, snot was rolling out of my nose so I was really uncomfortable. I kept envisioning Mario waking up to the horrifying sight of me with my hair all over my face and drowned in green, bubbly, slimey snot, so I just gave up on sleeping and got up.
We have bills to pay today since it’s Paycheck Friday for Mario. I have no idea what else we’re going to do. We need to finish watching Domino, the second movie we started watching last night. We watched The Family Stone before that. I don’t know if I’m PMSing, or just emotional from being sick but I cried so much throughout that movie. It was sad :(.
I’m going to finish up my breakfast before it gets cold and maybe fall asleep sitting up in my chair for a few minutes while I’m not coughing.

Aww! I hope you’re feeling better! It’s *so* nice to have some nice, warm, thick oatmeal to coat your throat when you’re feeling sick. And if you add honey or maple syrup to it, it’ll help to soothe your throat too. Drink lots of herbal tea spiked with lemon/honey! On a happier note, I wanted to drop by and say “Happy Mother’s Day!” I hope it was wonderful for you! Take care! š

I’ve recently started eating Cream of Wheat and hot chocolate for breakfast. Not as healthy as yours, but still better than nothing, which is what I usually have! It is really nice to have a warm breakfast too!
Hope you get better soon!
