I can't remember the last time my throat her so bad and the only time my voice has been this bad is a week before state basketball, but even then it'd come and go throughout the day. It doesn't come at all-- just goes. I'm gargling wth saltwater and drinking warm lemon honey water (which the husband makes for me), but I might have to break down and go to the doctor today.
The first day back at school wasn't too bad. The kids are dealing with the loss of Coach Riley about how we expected. It's still fresh to them at just a couple weeks out and there are some tender hearts. I was very impressed with how well his youngest son is handling it. He was a comfort to others in class by his demeanor and attitude. In speech they gave impromptus about New Year's resolutions and goals and several of the wrestlers stood up and spoke about their desire to do well and make it to state for Coach Riley. His youngest son was in that class, so it was nice that he could see and hear that support from others.
Other than that, the kids were about normal coming off the break-- some past ready to be back and some squirrely. I didn't have a voice so that made some things a little harder but with the DWA this week and finals next week, not much of a voice will be required. I just have to get it up and going for the new semester though.
Our Monday game against the number one freshmen team was.... odd. We had moments of brilliance and the other coach was shocked that we were staying with them and moments of random "what are we doing" that killed us. My number one scorer who has been averaging 16 points a game.... had zero... and it wasn't because they were dogging her... they weren't. She just had her worst game of the season. Nice. Still, knowing that she had her worst game and we played them so well makes me confident that we can beat them. They respect us now and other people did step up who have been struggling throughout the season so I have to be grateful for that. We have one practice then play the #2 team (we're number three) tomorrow so we have to adjust and move on. Such is life.
Enjoyed having Jason and Anne over for dinner Sunday. Left the lights up one last weekend so Maddi could see them. She is jabbering up a storm now. She was very happy to see her papa too. Also appreciated Jeremy's family coming out to the game last night. They're a built-in fan club. Can't wait till Daisha is old enough to play! :D Well I'm off to work. If anyone knows of any organic remedies for congestion, pass them this way.
Like nasal congestion? Boil some water, a little bit of honey and lemon juice in a pot. Move it to the table and put a towel over your head as you breathe it in. It gets pretty warm under there but works AMAZING!!!
