Sleep....Must Get Sleep!

I'm so tired. All the junk that was congesting my lungs and coating my vocal chords has now loosened up into a drip that incessantly causes my throat to be irritated. Thus, nonstop coughing has begun. I didn't sleep much last night as a result. I tried napping after school but got nowhere. So, I'm going to read for a while now, then take some Nyquil, all the while praying like a mad woman! I really want to sleep! On a positive note, my voice is getting better! Since I won't see anyone all weekend it should help it even more and then I only have to teach 1/2 a day on Monday due to another field trip. (I don't think I'll ever have a full day or week again this year!) Anyway, I'm also using this as a means to becoming overly exhausted in hopes of being able to sleep through the coughing. What's so "funny" is that just about 2 weeks ago I thought to myself how awesome it was that I hadn't gotten a "coughing illness" this school year like every other year of my entire life. When I get it, I get it BAD and many sleepless nights always ensue. Alas, this too shall pass! Alright my eyelids are droopy, time to read, then time to drug myself, and hopefully sleep!
