And im coughing like crazy.. i cant kiss my babies because i dont want them to get sick.. Sad and i swear to god i feel like i have 8 pounds of phlegm in my chest and throat.

ummm... my favorite is still hot tea with honey and lemon. my mom swore by gargling with salt water. my grandma used to either drink tea made from parsley or dissolve peppermints in hot water and drink that.

I am the world's biggest baby so I always keep a "sick kit". It has tissues, cough drops, tea bags, a jar of honey, a bottle of lemon juice, theraflu, aspirin, aleve, a decongestant inhaler, vitamin c, echinacea, dayquil, nyquil, vicks vapo-rub, and chloraseptic. That way when I get sick I always have everything I need.

I hate being sick. I have been fighting something for a week now. It started last friday when I just had a lot of congestion and was sneezing like crazy. I thought it could be allergies at first, but then Friday night I had a fever and chills. Then Sunday I woke up and I couldn't hear...my ears were all clogged up, and they still are. Almost one week of having clogged ears is no fun. They won't go away. I think my cold or allergies turned into a sinus infection. I have had the worst sinus headache in the world for the past 5 days. My head and sinuses are almost back to normal, but I still can't hear!!!!!

I HATE IT!!!
