The Itchy and Scratchy Show!
Sat Sep 17 2011

At least that's what sums up my life for the past 2 days with my allergies in flow-blown red alert mode.

At least my neck is starting to feel better. 3 visits to the chiropractor, ibuprofen every 4 hours, ice several times a day, and I'm in significantly less pain,. I am now able to actually turn my head almost 90 degrees in both directions. Woo-hoo!

Hubby and I headed down to visit my folks today, they head back up north on Wednesday. I'm hoping they can come to the fair with us on Monday.

Monday is our annual "play hooky from work and spend the day at the fair" day. I'm looking forward to scones for breakfast!

Life has been blissfully boring the past year of so in comparison to back when I first opened up this diary almost 10 years ago. Wow has my family come a LONG way. There were days back then I honestly didn't think I'd be alive. much less sane by now.

I thought for sure my kids would have either made me lose my mind, or have driven me to an early grave. With #3 a senior in high school now, I am thankful for THAT phase of my child rearing years to be almost over.

There is the old joke about "the curse" of children. "I hope your kids are just like you", or something like that. Bill Cosby had it as part of his "Himself" routine in 1983.

I have it from a reliable source (my parents), that I came NO WHERE NEAR putting my parents through what my kids have put me through. I'm not going to put the curse on my kids, because I'm concerned that they would leave their kids with me and then disappear. LOL

    Does it count as 'regifting' if your kids leave your grandkids on your doorstep and run screaming in the opposite direction??? I've always wondered about that.....

    On the allergy front; We've had extremely high pollen counts here since MARCH. It's been the worst year on record *rolls eyes*. I should have bought stock in Puffs and CVS brand eye drops.... Live and learn.
