Well, I really need a pedicure.  But that's not what I'm thinking of now.  In fact, if I were creating a list of what a mom needs, what I need now would not be on the list because I wouldn't have though of it.

So, here it is.  I NEED A VOICE!

Yep.  I lost my voice.  After two days of a fiery throat, I now have lost my voice.  The kiddo thinks it's pretty darn funny.

And I think she's pretending not to hear me.  She's too dang smart.

So, I have to work really hard at talking.  And I didn't realize how many times a day I holler across the house or room.

I can't just yell, "Kiddo, where are you?  What are you doing?" to check up on her.

And to boot, the hubby is out of town.  I have no vocal help. 

This will be a challenging couple of days.  Until now, I never even thought of what life with a preschooler would be like if I didn't have a voice.  Tomorrow we're off to the kiddo's school carnival.  I really, really hope I can talk by then.  Otherwise, I'm thinkin' I'm walking into a safety/discipline nightmare.
