{weeding...}

its that time of year for me.
allergy season.


since i can remember, every year (about this time) allergies come upon me.
they hit me like a brick every time, and no matter what i do,
they always last a month or two.
its absolutely miserable.
i have a picture in my head of the last day of school in junior high
and i had a bottle of eye drops sitting on my desk while i was taking one of my final tests.
its always been this way and i think i've tried everything on the block.
and i mean EVERYTHING.
nothing works for me.
with that in mind...

i went down to my moms on saturday to help get a few jobs done for her.
i decided to do the outside jobs in hopes of getting some sun. because i have really bad allergies i knew i would be sneezing and have a runny nose for awhile, but had i known what would become of it, i would have picked organizing the scrapbook room instead.

four hours later...
32 sneezes,
2 very itchy red eyes,
5 trips to the bathroom to blow my nose,
2 packets of benadryl,
4 cut fingers,
9 different bandaids,
1 disgusting brown reclouse spider,
12 nasty worms,


and one VERY BAD allergic reaction later......
(red and burning hands & knees)




i forgot how much i hated weeding

besides benadryl, claritin, sudafed, tylenol/advil cold & allergy, nasal sprays, etc. does anyone have suggestions?
