Sheesh

My mommy loves me! She called me last night to see if I was feeling any better. I was not. The scratchy throat had turned into hoarseness, a cough, a runny nose and watery eyes. Add to that sinus pain and I was just peachy. I couldn't afford medicine though because the stupid Cold-Eze lozenges or whatever cost me $6!!! So I was just suffering and going to bed at 8 or so to heal myself. So my mommy (yes I am 27 and calling her that...but it's because she is so nice when you are sick) went to the store after work and bought me medicine. She got me Dristan, Nyquil, Dayquil and some Orange Juice because mine was expired!

So I took the Nyquil around 12:15. Oddly enough, I had trouble sleeping. I dunno if I was worried that I was going to oversleep or what but I kept waking myself up. So I think I fell asleep real good around 4 or so. I *remember* my alarm going off but I also remember hitting snooze a lot. The next thing I know, I'm in the middle of this super vivid dream and I jerked awake. I roll over and look at the clock. It's freaking 6:45!!!! I'm usually getting ready to leave at that time. I got up so fast! My heart was pounding like mad. I took a shower and then called school and told them what happened. I said I was gonna be a little late, but that I was on my way and could they please cover my class for 5 minutes. I told them my students knew what to do already. So I quick hurry up, dry my hair, get dressed, and head out the door at 7:09 or so. I walked in to school and waved at the secretary and she goes "Oh you're here! I didn't even get anyone to cover you." Uh great, thanks. There were a lot of kids in the office though. Apparently there was a fight so my problem was like piddly or something. So I go "Okay, I'll hurry!" I walked to my room and the kids were waiting for me and of course they were mouthy about me being late. I just told them it was Nyquil's fault.

I actually made it to my room with time to spare before the final bell started the day. That's nuts! I don't think I've ever gotten ready that fast in my LIFE. I didn't wear my contacts though so it saved time. I would have been ready even sooner but my pants turned out to be too big so I had to find a belt. How did that happen!? I am the junkiest eater and I don't exercise. Not that I'm unhappy with that...well yeah a little because now my cute pants from Express are big on me. Anywho, so yeah, Nyquil took my ass out something good. At least I still made it to work on time sorta. Lisa said she wants that kind of quickness when getting ready on the weekend. Silly Lisa! I take time on the weekends because I have to pick out an outfit and do my hair and makeup. Today was shower, dress, blow dry and leave. That's it! Nothing fancy. That *SO* does not work for Saturday nights! :p
