No Talking....Doctor's Orders

For the last 3 weeks, our church has been preparing for it's Christmas program. We will have an adult and children's choir singing together. On Friday night, we will sing to music...which is a really big deal for a Church of Christ...and I am VERY excited about it. Sunday, we will do the same program, but will sing acappella. The acappella is going to be absolutely beautiful.

Except, about a week ago, all of the singing rehearsal really started to stress my vocal cords and throat. Then, with the lovely Oklahoma weather added to it, chest congestion has moved on in...say "Hello" to Mr. Mucus!!



So, with only 5 days until our Christmas program and me sounding like Barry White instead of the normal saprano voice, I decided to go to the doctor today and get some medicine. He gave me cough syrup and a Z-pack....and, he told me no unnecessary talking for the next few days! WHAT!!! Me? No Talking??? Is that really possible???



NO!!!! I love to talk. All of my report cards in school said..."Becky is a pleasant student, but she talks too much!" It's who I am, It's part of my character. I don't know if I can do it! So, I've been on my no talking restriction for about an hour now! WAY TOO DANG HARD! But if I want to sing Friday night, I will follow the doctor's orders.

So, I have my trusty pen and paper and have been writing notes to Tony and the kids!!! It's been kinda fun. (At one point, Ashton stopped talking too and started writing notes to me...hehehe.)

Seriously...can you really imagine me not talking????
