FOMO Gone with Sinus Relief!

I won’t lie. I had no idea what FOMO meant. I am that un-hip. After checking in with Urban Dictionary (yes, yes  I really do refer to this on a frequent basis. Mostly because my younger friends got sick of me asking what stuff meant), I totally fell for this acronym: Fear of Missing Out.

This is me!

Like, basically my entire experience on this earth. Because when I am not busy doing and being all that I can be, I am fussing over whether I can and should be doing more. Forget that this is a self-punishing vantage point, and recognize the truth that we all want to be all that we can–especially when it comes to our kids.

The worst part of being sick for me? Hands-down is still trying to be there for my kids despite feeling like crap. The thing is, the preschool parties, Kindergarten book fairs and pee-wee soccer games don’t quit. Ever. But sometimes my health does.

This is a recent picture of how awesome I felt in these winter months. Clearly, winter was winning.

This is where the remedies roll in. Recently, hellbent on not letting a sinus infection slow me down, I tried it all. Neti-pot, essential oils, humidifiers–and it helped, but didn’t totally resolve. So I gave in and decided to trust modern medicine: I went to the doctor. And do you know what she prescribed? An antibiotic and taking SUDAFED®! She strongly supported it’s capacity to dry out my sinuses and keep them clean, thus preventing exacerbation of infection.

Huh. My mother was a strong proponent of SUDAFED® for years; maybe she knew what she was talking about?? Go figure. Who knew my mom knew anything.

But the thing is, we moms are human. So we get sick. But we don’t want to miss the stuff in our kids’ lives (=FOMO), so we need help. Enter SUDAFED®. It helps us put those nasty sinus symptoms at bay so we can keep up our most important gig as Mom. Sinus congestion, pain and pressure can take a back seat as relief takes over.

In the past year, this is one of the most gorgeous Mom moments I had. I can’t imagine missing this because I was too under-the-weather. Truth told, I don’t want to miss a single one of these moments.

With SUDAFED®, we don’t have to have FOMO because we can continue to be there for our kids.

And that is a sweet, sweet thing. Bring on the SUDAFED®, friends, this Mom of the Year is going in & keeping those sinuses clear so she doesn’t have to miss a single thing.

FOMO? No such thing around these parts.
