My Husband the charmer

I don't know where the days go...well...I see them go by, but geesh! To catch you back up I FINALLY went and got allergy tested. I'm really really allergic to grasses (alas...I can't mow the lawn anymore...awwww...so sad). This must be the reason that I've always let my little lawn in my backyard struggle. You see...if I had a beautiful lush green lawn it would just cause me more grief...yah...that's it...grief. I'm allergic to a bunch of other stuff and then really really bad to guinea pig. I knew I was allergic to the fuzzy rats, but yah...even the doctor was impressed with the size of the hive I grew so quickly with that. Believe it or not they have a special serum to test specifically for guinea pig...lol...I thought that was funny. The reason that I'm telling you this is because I now have to go in for wretched shots twice a week. I thought I'd do the cluster shots (3 shots twice a week) to get the titration up and be done quicker. The first set went pretty well. I ended up with huge welts on my arms, but it was doable. On Monday I went in for my second set of shots and all went well until I got home. Oh man! I thought I was going to die! My face broke out in a rash, my lips swelled up, my mouth and esophagus were all swollen...ewww!! I was sooo sick! Poor Norman kept checking my pulse and then he'd come in and tell me that I look like crap...what a loving husband. I did survive, but on Thursday I only got a small dose and one shot. I was ok with that one, so I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Last Saturday we met my friends Steve and Marcia. I met them in college and I haven't seen them since they had their new little boy. Norman turned on the charm I guess because the girls LOVED him. I didn't ask them to pose for this. They were both on his lap talking to him and just having a grand time. I loved it!!!


Today in nursery singing time I handed out the tambourines and one of the little girls started singing "Follow the Prophet". Her mom was surprised and she hadn't taught her that song. She remembered it from singing time!!! YAY!!!! I LOVE my nursery kids!!! So fun!!!
