Tired, tired people...

Connor has been scratching and scratching and SCRATCHING all night for the last three nights. Sean and I are very, very tired. Thank goodness he's on holidays tomorrow. I definitely need a good sleep tonight since tomorrow is my first day teaching at RRC and I need to have it together a little bit anyways.

Nana and Grandad arrived on Saturday and we are glad to see them! Not only are they keeping the other two occupied while I'm taking Connor to the doctors and stuff, they've been here to let us a have a little bit of a sleep-in on Sunday.

The weather is supposed to be getting nice, so they may be off to the lake tomorrow if poor Itchy can get some sleep tonight. The doctor upped the prednisone dose today so I hope it helps. His poor face is all swollen and he looks quite a bit like a pumpkin except he's bright red instead of orange!

Poison ivy! Yikes!

Connor has it. He actually picked some up at the lake last week and my friend Wendy made him wash his hands and we put some of her daughter's eczema cream on it and it seemed to go away. That was over a week ago, and now he's covered head to foot. Looks like a very bad case of acne on his face, poor guy. I'll try to take a picture and post it later. We're off to the doctor at noon because the itching is driving him crazy.

I just read on a poison ivy FAQ: For those rare people who react after their very first exposure, the rash appears after seven to 10 days. Sounds like Connor, he is a rare person!

Number two...

Okay, I invited people to comment and then didn't bother to add comments. I hope I've fixed it now.

First day, new blog

Howdy. I'm just trying this out to see if my template works and all my RSS feeds work, etc.. This blog is meant to let friends and family know what we're doing, particularly family in Ontario... (since Nana and Grandad finally got a computer and we can communicate a little easier now!) It'll tell day-to-day what the kids and Sean and I are up to and we'll all be posting (well, Connor and Delaney can post once they can read and write).

And Daisy and Comet will be posting occassionally too...
