I’m a mom learning to balance my family, faith, and writing career.

I Lost My Voice!

It’s about three hours away, lost somewhere south of where I live.

Thursday and Friday I attended my Joey’s overnight field trip with five kids and four adults (including me.) It was fun, but I was already feeling the affects of seasonal allergies. I was congested with a tickle in my throat, and occasional cough, and diminishing voice.

By Friday morning all I could do was whisper. When I got home Grace (5) snuggled in bed with me and said, “Maybe God took away your voice so you wouldn’t yell.”

What wisdom from my little one! Maybe he did! Because it sure is hard to yell and be a mean mommy without a voice!

    Bless your heart! My mother used to get laryngitis. When I was in high school, I’d go to ball games and yell my head out, TRYING to lose my voice, thinking it would keep me out of school….. Never happened.

    Hope you’re better soon.

    OOPS… I guess that should have been “yell my head OFF”. Knew I’d hit the “send” button too soon….. :-O

    Ginnie again
