Laryngitis, please return my voice. You've absconded with my only ability to get my child to listen to me, and while yes, it doesn't work all the time, trying to talk come out in yelps that leaves him saying, "Mommy's funny," and running from me. I lost my voice on Friday and have only recovered it in bits and spurts, only lasting to midday and then disappearing again. At first I felt bad because he didn't understand and he thought I was mad at him, since my voice drops a couple of octaves when I discipline his bad behavior. Poor little guy. Even my husband is making jokes at my expense, and they are not funny.
"Some may say you are the perfect wife, beautiful, sexy, and can't talk," he said yesterday.
Today he said I sounded sexy right before I lost it again. All I know is that it hurts and I'm frustrated. You can't take a voice away from a talker......I guess I'll wait. People are all concerned about the Swine Flu and I could care less, my voice is my tool, let the pigs roll in the mud.
I've been walking around for days with a bear jar of honey, which is the only thing that has helped my throat. It really works. But with a cold and a husband with a cold, too, it's been a bad week. We feel like we've been sick for ever, since last September really, when Liam started school. Then it's been one cold per month for each of us, and I was a person who only got one cold per year. I can't wait to restore my YMCA membership and start juicing (real fruits and veggies with a juicer) to get healthier.
