I think I'm going to take Earth Day today to rebel against it. The Earth is ticking me off today!!!
Maddy's allergies were horrible last night and now she has a sore throat and doesn't want to eat or drink because of it. I was up rocking her a ton last night. Fortunately for me, Matt allowed me to sleep in until 8 when Maddy was finally up at 7. Poor baby, I can tell she's miserable.
Matt's reaction hasn't gotten any better to his bite/sting. Now, that's partially our fault since by the time Matt got to the pharmacy to pick up his meds they were closed! It was a 24 hour store so I assumed (wrongly) that the pharmacy would be open a bit later. But when Matt went around 8 pm they were closed. So he has to go get them this morning at 10. The reaction has spread though, so I think once he takes the antihistamine meds he will be down for the count today. The reaction is now on a line on his face and the original reaction is bigger, too.
So, Maddy wasn't going to go to church today because she just feels like crud. But now I don't want Matt to stay with her since he's having an allergic reaction and can't watch her and take antihistamine meds at the same time. So at 8 am I called Pastor to let him know I won't be there for Sunday School. Ah well, what can I do??
So, hey, Mother Earth! Here's a big PPPPPHHHHHHHHFFFFFFTTTT!!! in your general direction.

Well, both of them are down for a nap. His rash has since then it spread to his face (a single inflamed line) and another spot on his arm. His original bite is weeping. So he's on the prescriptions but I want him to go to emergency, but we'll see how the prescriptions work first. It's worrisome though. I don't know what he was bit by, but I'm guessing a poisonous spider. The antihistamine has totally threw Matt for a loop and there's no way he's going to drive. As it was he forgot to turn off the toaster oven. IF he goes to work tomorrow I am going to have to drop him off and pick him up.
Maddy has been feeling like crap since a couple of days ago. Really runny nose. Well, now she doesn't want to take meds so I have to mix it into icecream. She was up four times last night and today has a sore throat. I feel bad for her since she's just miserable.
But they are both down for a nap now and I have a bit of peace. I will check on Matt later and see if it's getting worse cause if it is, he's going to emergency.

For the allergies, I would suggest that you stop drying your laundry out on the line and see if there is a difference. Your bedding and/or clothes are catching all the allergens in the air and then you bring them into the house and sleep on them and wear them. Ben gets a bath or a shower before naps and bedtime if he has been outside to wash the allergens off of him. If he takes the allergens to bed with him he will sleep poorly or not at all. I also change his clothes as soon as he comes inside b/c the allergens are on his clothes. It's a pain, but it made a significant difference with Ben being able to sleep at night. Might be worth a try.
