Read the labels!

This afternoon as I was sitting here blogging about my blessings I took a cold pill. I glanced casually at the box and noted it said decongestant free. For some reason my brain took that to mean 'non-drowsy' WRONG! As I was wandering around the house working on random things (my favorite way to clean! Its amazing what I get done) I suddenly became completely exhausted. I mean lay down and go to sleep immediately exhausted. I figured my cold was kicking into gear and started texting my husband that this cold was going to be a dozy. Then I saw the medicine box on the table. Hmmmm I wonder. . . Flip it over to read 'may cause extreme drowsiness!' You think?? I'm glad it was just a 4 hour pill, I feel much better now if a bit foolish. I could have accomplished more today, had I not medicated myself into oblivion!
