Sick of being Sick.

I love the fall. But as i indicated in the post, Allergies, it's tough in terms of itchy eyes, a stuffy nose, and sinus headaches. This year seems worse than usual, and I don't know if that's because the farmland behind us was full of beans this year or what... But I have lost my voice (I think Shonn's secretly thankful - haha) and I have been up three nights in a row coughing like a hyena. (If hyenas cough really loudly like their lungs are coming out in chunky pieces.)

I've been trying to avoid medicine because I'm worried it's bad for Beckett. But my friend from work, Anne, told me to try Emergen-C. It's basically a vitamin-packed drink. My doctor said it was okay, so I've been drinking it with warm water. I think it's helping. Today I took a half day to go to the doctor. Then Beckett and I came home and took a snuggle nap, which was wonderful - just what the doctor (didn't, but should have) ordered.

The thing is, as bad as I feel, it's ten times worse to see Beckett's sweet little button nose run or be clogged. SAD. I would be this sick (or worse) forever if it meant he would never be sick. Maybe he'll outgrow allergies. I pray he does!
