Gone....

My voice is gone.

My kids are thrilled. This means mom can't yell anymore.

It started to crack a little yesterday about 3 in the afternoon, and by 7 pm last night it was fading fast. This morning? I.got.nothin'.

This cold is kicking my butt and I am so done with it. Ugh.

I'm sorry you're feeling so crummy. Let me tell you a little secret my voice teacher taught me a few (cough - 8th grade) years ago.
Boil 1 cup of water and about 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. Drape a towel over your head while breathing in the steam through your mouth. The vapors will help repair your vocal chords.
I hate vinegar (I have childhood issues with it) and it makes me gag just to smell it. but I've done this technique before (the night before a HUGE performance in front of a room of judges) and my voice was good enough to sing...
Hope you feel better.
