So yesterday was one of the worst days I have had in a long time! My husband "Captain Safety" warned me that the weeds I planned to pull might be poison ivy. I didn't believe him because he thinks everything is poison ivy. Well this time he was right. I apparently rubbed my eyes and face after pulling the "weeds" I woke up Tuesday with my eyes almost swollen shut! The swelling made me very woozy and I couldn't think straight. While I was trying to make lunch Carter and Landon decided to brush their teeth upstairs and left the faucet running for about an hour. Torrey came home and asked why the ceiling was leaking (I was so out of it that I didn't even notice). My hero cleaned up the mess and gave me some Benedryl. Unfortunately the medication unexpectedly knocked me out for about 4 hours....sleep good.....4 boys under 7 unattended in the house...bad....very bad. When I woke up there was a pile of sand from the sandbox on every single carpeted stair in the house, all 10 the tomatoes I just bought at the store where either eaten or smashed into the carpet, Landon had poop running down his leg, and every game piece known to man was scattered around the living room floor. Oh yeah and I remember a call somewhere in the middle of my hibernation saying that my husband got a speeding ticket on the way back to work!!! I thank God for my wonderful husband who came home to see the desperation in my red swollen eyes and cleaned it all up for me!!! I am so Blessed!

Kimberely,
When I was 7-8 months pregnant I was pulling weeds (must have touched my face). It was horrible. I couldn't take anything and didn't sleep for about five days. It was all over my face and neck (including my lips). I'm pretty sure it was the worst thing ever. Glad you are feeling better :)

Duhh... forgot to add, I ended up with poison ivy or oak or something POISON. Very poison. It makes me cringe just thinking about it.
