I normally think of myself as a pretty put-together friend, ear, leader, sister, cook, reader, shopper, creative thinker, pet mom, inspirer, etc. Yet when the wonderful lilacs fill the air with purple and the lawn mowers begin the drone of summer grasses, I turn into this sniveling, whining, sneezing, dizzy – pathetic – child! Who else has this Jekyll-Hyde transformation?
Sure, I know you’re supposed to stay inside (WHAT? It’s sunny out!) with your windows closed (and miss that wonderful spring breeze?) and not go outside in the a.m. (tell my dog that!). Worse yet, I choose to drive around completely in the elements with my convertible top down – because, dammit, this is Chicago and we only have so long to enjoy this!
So, I take some over-the-counter allergy pills (always too late) and carry a box of tissue with me. And wear my glasses more often than contacts. And try to go about my daily life.
But this morning, with a sore throat, dizzy head and drippy nose, I was transported back to about 3rd grade when my mommy let me stay home from school to sleep and eat sherbet. I am totally awash in this feeling of being so vulnerable and so cared for that I’m taking the liberty of taking on this whine-y, sicky identity for just a few minutes. Sometimes it’s good to bring back that feeling of being 8 years old again.
Then I’ll take more antihistamines, etc. and grow up and get on with my life as an Allergy Sufferer. But until then, I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
- Really creative allergy solutions
- Wonderful ways you feed your 8-year-old, 3rd grade self
Enjoy spring and support your local pharmaceutical company!

Sick of getting low amounts of useless visitors to your website? Well i want to tell you about a brand new underground tactic that makes me personally $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I really could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their site out? There is a excellent video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making simple hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
