Friday: I awoke to an unpleasant feeling in my throat. To adequately describe it, I'd say it felt like a small monster jumping up and down on my already large tonsils. As my day went on I realized my throat was getting scratchy and sore. I was downing water like my life depended on it because I was hoping for some relief from the growing monster.

We had a volleyball game that night and I could tell that my once small monster had developed into quite an unpleasant friend...taking my slightly irritated throat into another level of discomfort while bringing in new monster friends to invade my nose and sinus cavities.

Yes, I am referring to "monsters" rather than graphically explaining the snot and mucus that have been running down my throat...which is now in my chest.

Finally, after a morning of coughing up nastiness, constantly blowing my nose, downing the H2O...I called my pharmacist. He recommended that I try some Mucinex DM during the day and Benedryl at night. I've been Benedryl-ing it up since Friday so hopefully this Mucinex stuff will do its job.

So my Try it Tuesday is Mucinex DM.

Wish me luck and pray that my monster friends leave quickly!

Always, Sometimes, Never

-love watching The Office….I use to hate it…so this is big

-match, even pjs

-sugar coat everything

-order the same thing at my favorite restaurants

-make an effort to let D know how much he means to me

I Sometimes

-cringe when I watch The Office because it is soooo awkward which is why I hated it originally

-dislike KLOVE because they are so cheesy! They absolutely mean well and are doing great things…but come on….be real people!

-still listen though

-purposely “lose track” of how many oreos I eat so I don’t feel as guilty

-leave clean laundry in the dryer for long periods of time

-pretend I don’t see a dead bug so D will pick it up instead of me

-forget how blessed I really am

I Never

-regret working out

-sing very loud unless I sing silly songs with my class

lecrae

My newest running companion....Lecrae.

I run faster, harder, and the time flies. Who'd have thought this white girl would like rap so much. If you haven't checked him out....you're missing out. He's a christian rapper who's totally ligit. (I would so get props from our youth if they heard me!) and his lyrics are actually really good...both biblical and not cheesy. Check him out!

honesty

10. Baseball is very boring to me.

9. I am so tired of this 150 degree heat....I don't ever remember it being this hot!

8. School is starting back next week and I am actually very excited.

7. I had my parent orientation today....where I met all my parents. Hopefully their kids are as good as them.

6. I still love anything animal print. The other day our secretary was doing a tour and brought a family to my animal print classroom. I heard her explain to the family that I really like animals. I had to interrupt and explain that I really like animal prints.

5. I am not an animal person.

4. I think I might be deathly scared of mice...we've had 2 lately!

3. Home Defense is a great invention. Thank you HD for keeping bugs from crawling around in my house.

2. ....If they come in then they die soon after.

1. If I see a dead bug I secretly pretend I don't see it so that D will pick it up and throw it away. :)
