Thank you, Dr. McUseless

I woke up with red spots on my arms and hands Thursday morning. I got out of the shower and there they were. What the heck is that? I didn't know I had said it out loud until the hubby said 'who are you talking to in there'? I took some Benadryl and hoped it would go away. No Such Luck. Today I found that I am now covered from the neck down in Red, itchy hives. But from what?
So off to the doctor I went. Did you change laundry soap? nope
New Cream or soap? nope
Have you been in the woods? Um no. I am not the wilderness kind of girl, doc. He came to the conclusion that I must be allergic to something. Gave me a shot and sent me on my way. If it comes back give me a call- those were my instructions. Come back? It hasn't gone away!
So, thanks a lot Dr. McUseless. I want a refund. I can use it to buy some itch cream.
Oh- and that shot? It did nothing. Still full of hives, just sleepier than before.

Three strikes.

In honor of the upcoming holiday, last night I made corned beef and cabbage. While it seemed like a good idea to try something new I can't say I will make it again. It's actually very easy to make and the meat was tender but SALTY, as were the potatoes, carrots and cabbage I cooked with it. I don't use much salt and this was salt overload. The hubby ate it but admitted he would probably not do so again. Hannah picked and asked to go watch TV. She normally eats anything so that was not a good sign. Strike 1

Since he has been born Lucas has slept in his pack and play in the spare room with one of us. He is not a good sleeper and when he is hungry he is LOUD! So we keep him far away from Hannah's room because the last thing I need at 2am is to have both kids up. But yesterday was his 4 month birthday (Happy Birthday, my love!) and we decided to try and put him in his room and his crib like a big boy. Oh course all he did was fuss and cry and eventually daddy took him back to the spare room so I could get some sleep and so that the other little monkey would stay asleep. Strike 2

& I have not been to the gym in over a week... That will not help me get into my summer clothes. Strike 3- and I am out.

On a promising note- its was in the 50's today! In March! In Buffalo! Yahoo! Too bad I was inside all day working. ::pout:: But at least the kids got to go for a walk with dad and get some fresh air.
