So after doing my bloggy diligence this morning I indeed hoisted myself up on the bike yet again for a scintillating ragweed-laden ride.
And came back and sat in a stupor on the couch wondering where everyone was and why I was so tired. Oh! Pollen! Combined with it’s-a-school-day!
And then Eric came home and was exhausted from the excitement of his first day back at school and the bus driver getting lost on the way home and all, so we he fell asleep not long after, without even having had lunch. Eric doesn’t miss many meals so you had to know it was serious. And when he awoke he was ravenous and all he could do was cry his chagrin at the unfairness of life and maybe some apple slices?
And Serena had homework but forgot to bring home a very very crucial part, and it is almost as if she as never had homework before…oh wait, she hasn’t. But she’s making her 9′s and maybe her 10′s backwards still so we worked on that. And there was reading and she went to bed. The end.
And Nathaniel has the worst case of poison ivy I have ever seen. Almost (do NOT click on that link if you are eating). But he complains more than anyone else I have ever known, complains while jumping around and sort of screaming a little and hyperventilating, which would be quite funny if he wasn’t so serious about it so I have to bite my lip and pretend I have something in my eye.
And my lungs itch and my eyes itch and I am pretty sure those are places that you don’t want itching and I know for a fact that I can blame it all on breathing.

I know this is not very homeopathic, but it works. Get a bottle of Kaopectate, and a bottle of liquid benadryl, mix. Coat areas with mixture, breath a sigh of relief. The kaolin in the kaopectate dries things out and acts as a binder to keep the antihistamine ( Benedryl) on him.
Hope this helps.

Oh my HOLY, that skin rash link. Eeeewww. I would be too ashamed to take a picture of that.
Poison ivy sucks, allergies suck, homework and tiredness suck…. I hope your week gets better.

Ye Gods and little fishes!!! And I thought MY poison ivy was bad. Mine left scars for almost a year – that person will probably have scars for 5 years!!! (IF not forever!!)
As for your “itching lungs….,” are you sure yo didn’t inhale some poison ivy???
