Ugh. Cold from hell over here *SNIFF hack*

But I DID find a good alternative to Nyquil. It's from Tylenol, new stuff called Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe Nighttine. Little bottle (8oz) of this blue liquid. Costs about $5.50 at WalMart.

GOOD STUFF lemme tell ya. First off each dose has 1000mg Tylenol (no that's not a typo), 60mg of the main ingredient in Sudafed, cough suppressant, and antihistamine. What's even better is that it tastes like peppermint. (I have to hold my nose when I take Nyquil or it'll make me gag, no matter if it's green or red) This new stuff knocks me out within an hour of taking it and I sleep like a baby through the night (we're talking 10pm-6:30am or whenever my kids decide to wake me up)

In other news...still haven't heard from hubby. He was evacuated from NAS Pensacola sometime Tues and that morning was the last time I talked to him. GAH. He WAS due to graduate from his school Oct 26 but well that seems to have gone out the window...

Kids are doing good in school. Youngest son Robbie had a horrid first day (that whole separation anxiety thing) but has since greatly improved.

Ok I'm going to go finish my coffee and figure out what to do with the rest of my day. cheers...

Nyquil has that effect on me as well. I usually ride the cold out myself. Meds have the habit of making me act like a real crazy person. I'm going to keep an eye out for the med you mentioned, though...I need to find something that will knock my KIDS out! We're running on no sleep right now.

Keep me posted about your hubby, how scary that must be for you. Florida just keeps getting smacked.

You reminded me. When I am sick, I can't take squat because of blood pressure probs. Most things like sudafed make the bp higher so I can't take much of anything--argh!
