The wonderful aroma of homemade chicken noodle soup and menthol wafting though my house gives away the fact I am sick before I even have to speak. Or rather not speak because my voice has pretty much left me for the time being. I don't know where this heavy feeling in my chest has come from, whether allergies or something I caught from the kids, but it is not fun. Especially when you are having to teach music. I tried singing with my 4th graders this morning and couldn't stay on pitch to save my life. After that I gave up and the rest of my classes had movie day today! I had contemplated staying home but decided it would be less work to go to school and show the kids videos than to take the time to get everything together, write out precise instructions on how to run the projector and get sound through the radio, and then pray that all my hard work wasn't in vain because they either couldn't find me a sub or I ended up with a sub who couldn't even follow simple directions!! Anyway, looks like tomorrow will be another movie day for my wonderful children.
I do have to say that I am impressed with the Vick's humidifier I went and bought at Wal-Mart at 10 last night. The little menthol pads that go in it are wonderful and have really helped me to breath! And it just so happened that last weekend I had boiled some chicken with the intention to make chicken noodle soup this week so it was already half done. Though one stinky part of being single when you are sick is having to make your own chicken noodle soup!
