I've been battling allergies and a cold the past week and a half. Here are a few of my observations:
- Coughing attacks always happen at the most inconvenient times. Two examples would be in the middle of the night when I would rather be sleeping or during church when it's really quiet.
- Sleeping with the window shut helps me sleep better because my nose and throat aren't itching like crazy. I get hot though. I'm not sure which is worse.
- The Kleenex with lotion in them work. They don't cost that much more either.
- Sadie is getting a lot of practice at saying "Excuse you, Mommy" after I sneeze.
- I'm not sure if I like the way NyQuil makes me feel. I use to love it but I think I've changed my mind.
- There is no such thing as a "sick day" when you are a mom. Although Blake has let me sleep in a few days and that's been nice.
- Pretzels are a good thing to eat to scratch the back of your throat. However, if you also have a sore throat they can be painful.
- The cough drops with menthol work better. The fruity non-menthol ones are tasty but the lemon menthol ones are more effective.
- Water is necessary but does not taste good when you have a cold. Juice tastes much better.
- Having allergies and a cold at the same time can take your motivation away. I'm going to go ahead and blame them for my lack of posting anything for so long.

This is just a little tip if you have allergies...DON'T MOVE TO TEXAS. Even people without allergies have allergies here ;)
Thera-flu is my best friend when I have a sore throat. It's the only thing that soothes my throat when it hurts to swallow. Also, the Sudafed non-drying medicine with the teal accent on the box is the only over-the-counter medicine that works for my sinus' and allergies. I've also been known to use the Sudafed green box specifically for allergies as well. Hope it helps.
Wow! Thanks Lexi! I am going to try that stuff out!
