Joys of Allergies

Well we survived the trips, the single parenthood that changed hands after eight or so hours.  Unfortunately since my trip required going 4 1/2 hours south of where we live my allergies decided to make an appearance in full force by the time I returned home.  At least to me they feel like allergies.  You know those that you want to open up your sinus cavities and scratch with the coarsest sandpaper you can find?

So the kids waited at least until I was home for a few days for theirs to hit.  Unfortunately with Miss L I think the teeth coming in (2 year molars) are also playing a part.  Last night Michael and I were up with her about seven or eight times between the two of us.  Usually when one was up the other was passed out from exhaustion so off an on we each got some sleep.  But here it is after noon and he had to return to bed from a headache and lack of sleep.  He managed to get up to eat and after the kids go down for quiet time we will see if he is up to getting up.  (I might also hear him now as the kids finish eating…)

Pray for us as the allergies continue, hopefully soon I will be able to lay flat again to sleep (oh that will be a wonderful thing) and the kids noses won’t be running or crankiness from not feeling good surrounding them.

As soon as I get batteries in the camera I’ll be downloading pictures and trying to get some uploaded.

Miss C has planted sunflowers, Miss L has tomatoes.  Yes we know it is too early up here in the North Country but the kids are enjoying watching them grow so much.

We don’t know where we will be this summer as they grow.  We are almost to the mentality that we are here in this house for the foreseeable future.  And then when a job shows up we change our mentality then.  It has been very trying to keep thinking we are leaving and then nothing happens with a job…
