I hate spring colds. I really do. Add to that I quit smoking, so my body is in the coughing phase, and Im a miserable bi[/Aliceblue]tch. I went to bed last night around 10:30pm, utterly exhausted. I was ready to simply pass out and wake up refreshes. Ha fu[Aliceblue]cking ha!
From the moment I lay down I started to cough. Nothing serious, but it was that stupid tickle in the back of your throat just just doesnt seem to go away. It escalated into a full force coughing bit by the time it was midnight. I took some cough medicine, but it did nothing. Finally I grabbed my pillow and went to sleep on the couch around 1am. I figured if I couldnt sleep at least the hubby could. I think I dozed off and on half propped up, until 4:30 when my son woke up and wanted new pants on. I listened to him whine for about 15 minutes at daddy, but daddy was comotose. ( He denies it, but he had to have been). I wandered upstairs, coughing my lungs out, helped the kid and put him in bed. Then he realized he was missing his special blanket. Coughing the whole time it took us 45 minutes to find the damned thing. I got him in bed, the husband was bi[/Aliceblue]tchy, I was bi[Aliceblue]tchy, and by then, my throat was feeling chewed up. I stumbled back to the couch and coughed for another hour before I think my body simply gave up and I passed out.
I woke up this morning and I can barely talk. My throats on fire, Im still coughing, and I think I just may find something to hit. It might make me feel better.
Any suggestions on something that can soothe my irritated chewed up throat would be heartily appreciated.
