Hives

Ugh...I've had hives for the last 3 1/2 days.  Like mega hives.  Like the type that the internet says shouldn't happen.  I get hives on the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet, which the internet says shouldn't happen. I get hives with angioedema.  The internet says that shouldn't happen too.  Well, surprise!  Tuesday morning I woke up and could hardly see my eyelids were so swollen.  I also had hives all over my body.  Yesterday I jumped out of bed to get Seth because he woke up before we were up, and I said, "OOH OHH OH OH!!"  My wonderful husband said he'd get him for me. :)  Thanks, Dusty.  I had hives on the soles of my feet, which cause them to swell and HURT when pressure is put on them.  Also, I couldn't make a fist with either hand.  Shoot, I still can't put my wedding rings on.  Today I've had more intense itching than I've had in a very long time.  I am absolutely exhausted.

Now on a great note, it has been a very good week.  Busy, but good.  My kids have learned a lot of math, and on how to care for people that need help.  They are such wonderful children.  Poor Seth fell off his bike today and scraped his elbow, and I think jammed his left index finger.  It's pretty swollen, and a little blue.  He moved it a lot better this evening though than his did after his nap.  He's such a good boy.

My girl is becoming more beautiful by the day.  Her face is slimming into a little girl's face instead of a baby's face.  She has such a sweet, genuine smile.  They laugh together, and they crack up each other.  Good week.

And now it's raining!  Our garden desperately needs that.  It's so amazing how much better the rain makes the plants grow than regular watering with sprinklers.  Of course, it grows better, I mean that's how it was designed, it just still boggles my mind.

I'm sorry, faithful readers, that I have been so absent the past few weeks.  I think I'm having difficulty, as I've said before, finding time to do this because I always feel it's taking away from something else.  My husband is busy on his computer right now, too, or I wouldn't be blogging even now.  However, I'm very tired, so I'm going to go to bed now.  I will be back eventually. :)
