Allergy Assembly Line

Baby - change yucky diaper, make note that allergies give her unhappy tummy. Find new outfit for her with thick sweatpants for extra absorbency, offer prayer of thanks she was not just in her onesie!

Both - Administer Benedryl per doctor's instructions. Clean up mess made administering medicine to baby...check wall and ceiling just in case.

Both - wipe eyes, face, neck, hands (in that order) with clean, warm, damp face cloth (this is why you need about 20 washcloths in the house).

Both - Super Duper Aveeno lotion to all little faces.

Both - nap for all Pear girls, including Mom so she can keep up (and who God prompted to make supper in the crock pot during Baby's first nap, and get the bread to rising, so that she can rest too but still feed her family a delicious mean of white chicken chili and oatmeal bread, for which we offer another prayer of thanks.)

Really, do you want to know how I know? Yesterday we took Baby to the doctor with a rash and malaise that turned out to be environmental allergies as we are at the height of pollen season down here. And Miss Pear has had allergies for ages, and we always suspected environmental ones along with the food ones....

We are suffering here as well! We live in an area of Virginia which is known for high pollen. We are all in a daze here, drugged by the yellow dust.

Have a blessed Easter!

I love to see your prayers of thanks over being prompted to get supper ready, I do that kind of thing too :) God is awesome!

I hope that your little girls are feeling better.
