Hectic Schedules: How to Keep a Clear Head When Under the Weather

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more details.

When Mucinex® approached me about tips to keeping a clear head while balancing a hectic schedule, I gladly accepted, seeing that I always seem to know how to keep my cool. Well at least I always TRY to keep my cool! As a working mom of two young boys, I have to be on my toes even when I’m sick. Unfortunately life doesn’t stop when mommy is under the weather.


Take for example a typical workday morning.


The cat starts meowing at 5:30 am demanding to be fed. Ignoring him until the alarm sounds does know good since his cries grow louder. Soon after the cat is settled, the pitter patter of little feet are heard running down the hall. Yes, the boys are up at 6:30am full of energy! And of course they are hungry. A debate starts over what they want for breakfast. Meanwhile Mr. B doesn’t like the outfit that was laid out for him. Even though we got an early start to the day, we now realize the bus will be here in 5 minutes and Capt. M can’t find his shoe! Oh and now Mr. B is crying because he didn’t get to feed the dog. Upon finding the missing shoe, we discover the dog has thrown up by the front door.

Ugh! No time to even have a pitty party for mom with the sinus headache.

Mucinex® is here to the rescue! Mucinex® has come out with a new over the counter line products called Sinus-Max that help relieve sinus pressure, congestion and headache. Busy parents need less congestion- that’s for certain! The star of the new line of products is Maximum Strength* Mucinex® Sinus-MaxTM Pressure & Pain 20ct. With a clearer head, I will sure be able to tackle the challenges that are put forth in our normal day to day routine. Of course, make sure you use the product as directed.

Yes, congestion relief is needed so I can be prepared for when I am reunited with my busy boys. Because we all know they will be making mud pies or climbing a tree when they return home!

Balancing a hectic schedule is hard enough. Trying to keep it together when you’re under the weather requires additional help. Maximum Strength* Mucinex® Sinus-Max™ Pressure & Pain triple action formula fights mucus, congestion, sinus pressure and headache/pain. With cold and flu season in full force, I am relieved to know that even my worst symptoms can’t derail my plans.
