Coughing...and coughing... and moms don't get sick days

You know that terrible, horrible, no good, very bad thing about being sick when you are so.tired.you.just.need.to.lie.down. And like a good girl who obeys her body, so she can get better quickly, you lie down at 8:12pm, right after the kids?

And then this annoying tickle starts in your throat.

And causes you to spend the entire night coughing hacking up a lung instead of sleeping. And no drink, cough drop, or other trick mama taught you helps the (evil) tickle go away?

And the next night you're so frustrated 'cause you know it's gonna happen again, so instead of going to bed you decide to blog about it?

Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about? Hmmm. Maybe it's just me.
