Poison ivy ick

At my pharmacist's suggestion I picked up Ivy Dry for my horrendous poison ivy outbreak. Goodness. I have never had such a horrible reaction to poison ivy. On the bottle of Ivy Dry, it compares a severe poison ivy outbreak to a chemical burn. Well, it looks like I have a chemical burn on my neck and I am amazed that it has gone so deep. This is sure to scar and I've done everything I possible can to prevent spreading, aggravating, everything. Most of all, I have tried my darnest to keep it from Vail, I would never want her to have this. Ugh.

But today Vail is home with a fever and feeling cruddy. It seems that everytime I realize that Vail is doign well and without illness, she gets something. So frustrating. I am just hoping she doesn't have Hand Foot Mouth disease again, as it is going around her school. That was horrible last time.

In her fever naps today, I read The Queen of Babble Gets Hitched by Meg Cabot. Gotta love Meg for make-me-smile reads. Nothing at all like Alice Seybold, but I guess it is just writing for a different kind of day. But I have to admit, this book kept me reading. For me to finish two hundred pages in 14 hours, it has to be good.
