into my day for good measure....

Ugh. I need a break.

My allergies have been really bad even though I am on prescription meds for them. When H came over I asked him to show me how to use the weedeater. Then he left. Then I was unable to breath, started dry heaving, felt like I was going to pass out etc etc. I called him to come pick up the kids, he said only if I met him, as he just left. I said forget about it. I dropped one of at school, (really close to the house) then came home and the littlest and I went to bed. Thank God he was ready for a nap already. These episodes used to send me to the ER so I am kind of proud of myself for managing to get through it myself. Of course, I also reflected on how these episodes also used to scare H and he would force me to go to ER.

Now neighbor is mowing (fresh cut grass is major trigger for my allergies) so I am just praying to get through the night. My windows are all closed tightly and I took some of my kids allergy meds in addition to mine, LOL. I think I better start looking at my emergency plans, since h is obviously of no use to me even when he is off like today. What a jerk.

Missy,
Sorry you had such a horrible day with your allergies! I have really bad allergies too. I'm allergic to anything that grows outside, but fresh cut grass is my worst enemy. I've tried almost all the allergy meds, and none of them seem to work too well. One thing I love is eye drops made for allergies. I can't remember the name, but it's over the counter. They work wonders for my itchy, watery eyes. Take care, and I hope you can find someone to help you when you need it.

Hey Missy...

I hope you're feeling better today.

I'd love to say what he really is, but I would be in trouble with IVIllage.

Hang in there!

Love you,

Keli
