Debbie Downer
I'm feeling a bit like Debbie Downer today. Yesterday after a week and a half of salt gargles and Fishermen's Friends, I finally kicked my cough-induced sore throat when lo and behold, by afternoon I realized I was glued to my tissue box, and it wasn't because of the spring time allergies I'd chalked it up to earlier in the day; I have yet another cold. Not much sleep last night, pregnant, emotional, sniffly, coughy, grumpy. That would be me. This was my morning to help out at Henry's pre-school and when a couple of kids actively ignored my requests for them to stay on one side of a stream until the rest of the group could catch up with us, it peeved me a lot more than it would have on any other day. When I mentioned it to one of the other teachers, I got misty-eyed about it, and have since felt like an idiot, because it's so not like me. Well, feeling like an idiot is like me, but getting misty-eyed about things is not.
My only hope is that the last four weeks of being sick will have been the last hurrah of the cold season for us, at least until well after we've come back from our vacation in a few weeks. God, do I need that vacation.

Oh man you have had a tough round of illness lately. Let's hope that more consistently warm weather, a vacation, and a shift in hormones (that's always happening when your pregnant)will bring you some sunshine. And personally, I think it is just as important to cry as is it is to laugh.

I'm sorry you feel crappy. I hope you feel better soon!

You have the right to get away with a lot of things while you are pregnant without feeling like an idiot. Take advantage of it while you can.
I am glad you are feeling better...just count down the days until the beach and that should help.
