I have the sniffles and the snorts and the marathon-running-nose from hell! Allergies hit me hard this year. I don't usually suffer too bad except when I am pregnant and can't take anything, but this year I have been sneezing non-stop for DAYS! I have already gone through several boxes of tissue and am considering the use of handkerchiefs so as to lessen the landfill. Luckily for me, I am not allergic to the dog; but unluckily for me, I AM allergic to about 100 different pollens and plants!
It seems that the kids may have gotten a few of my numerous allergies as well. They have both been running their noses non-stop for quite some time now also. It's always clear and worsens over night. Those are the signs for allergies, so.....
I hope that our house will be more insulated against allergens than before. We will have foam insulation and double-paned windows and sheer-siding under the stucco. Maybe that will be enough to help keep out the sneezes. In any case, the progress is going fast. The second story is up and the roof is on. We are waiting on windows at this time. Then comes the shingles and stucco. The rest is up to us. Dave is actually going over there tomorrow to meet his cousin. Travis knows his way around the plumbing and has graciously offered to help Dave out. So, for Mother's Day, I get the peace of mind to know that my house will be plumbed and have electricity (that's what Dave is doing tomorrow). Then I get to spend the day running around visiting. Dave's cousin Casey is home from the Marine Corp Basic Training. We are heading out there to visit him. Then, we will be going to see Dave's mom for a bit. At some point, we need to get over to Color Me Mine and pick up the special ART that Jayden and Ellie created (with Jeff's and my help) for their grandmothers. Yep...we did the traditional hand/foot prints on a ceramic object. Dave's mom gets a heart shaped plate and my mom gets a tissue box cover.
I hear The Princess Bride playing in the other room. I haven't seen that in a while. I am off to see how many lines I remember! :)

I'm sorry to hear about your allergies. I would highly suggest getting an air purifier for your home to help. There are so many kinds out there that help to clean up the dust and pollen in the air. We have an ionic breeze air purifier but I think it mostly does dust and not so much the pollen stuff. The dust is helpful for me though and I like that I never have to change the filter. But they have newer models now that can handle pollen too.
Happy Mother's Day! Yay for the progress on your home!
Happy Mother's Day..ANYWAY you spend it :-)! Can't wait to see the most recent transformations to your home.
Greets to the webmaster of this wonderful site! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
