sick....

I feel so wretched with this cold I have developed. or flu or whatever. I can't sleep b/c my throat hurts too much and I keep coughing. bleh. so I finally took some sudafed yesterday and some just now. I don't like taking it as it messes with the nervous system so much. I get all irritable and wanna cry. sometimes I even feel raging!! so I avoid it always unless it's completely nessecary. Ever see a grown woman have an emotional break down? it ain't pretty and that's me on sudafed! learned that the hard way... I also worry about how it effects baby. everything i read says it's fine in small doses when needed, but if it effects me this much (and both of my kids) how can it not effect the baby? after taking it the baby starts bouncing around like crazy - which makes me all the more nervous!

anyhow I feel like I have glue for snot and my head feels like my brain is going to swell and pop through my skull. Luckily Sean's been taking care of me.

I've eaten a TON of homemade chicken soup (my best remedy), vitamin C, green and chamomile teas, some eggs, and water. and motrin b/c it hurts too bad to even sleep! Sean has made me food, gotten me tea, and just been a sweet guy all around. I think he has extra sympathy having just got past that terrible chest cold he had for 2.5 weeks!
