Pee Dee Mama Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I need to whine to someone who is not my dh. I'm sure he's tired of hearing me. ;) And I can't whine to any of my non-hsing friends because their answer will be, "That's the price you pay for homeschooling." My throat hurts. We are on week 3 of school. I read to them A LOT! History is read aloud, science is read aloud to the girls, all of my 1st grader's directions must be read aloud to her because she's still struggling to learn to read, spelling words are read aloud. Then there's all the other talking I have to do just to give directions or be a mom. I don't really have a question. I just needed to get it out. I feel better now. (Well, my throat doesn't, but you know what I mean :tongue_smilie:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Some tea with honey will help soothe your throat. Or just swallow a teaspoon of honey. Eventually your throat will get used to talking so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pee Dee Mama Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks! I will have to try it. I spent most of the afternoon NOT talking, and then had to talk to parents out at dd's soccer practice since I'm the team manager. I'm definitely looking forward to getting used to all the talking/reading again. I don't remember it being this bad in years past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Drinking plenty of water throughout the day, especially while reading aloud, helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
