There is something so relaxing about listening to water. I am sitting here, listening to the sounds of water bubbling and gurgling. After the day I've had, the comforting sounds of water are very welcoming. It's not the same as a jacuzzi, but my water "machine" is very soothing to my occasional jangled nerves.

     Today was just a very rushed, hurried day. I felt very pushed most of the day and was glad to be home and to rest. We started out by taking care of the van. We needed to pick up a headlight and get the oil changed. It was nice to be alone with my husband and to be able to enjoy silence. We finished taking care of the van and went to pick the kids up.

     We drove to a nearby town and shopped in some specialty shops. My son was able to get some new wheels for his skateboard. He was thrilled to be able to find some decent wheels. We haven't been able to afford much in the way of extras for the kids. I was glad we were able to get the kids one thing a piece. It was nice to surprise them with a gift.

     We went out to eat and I evidently ate something I shouldn't have. I had an allergic reaction and started rashing out. We drove to a gas station, but couldn't get dye free benadryl there. I was trying to rash out really bad and my throat was itching. Not a good sign. We then drove to walmart and my husband went to the pharmacy and talked with the pharmacist. Would you believe they had to call several pharmacies to find dye free benadryl?  There was only one pharmacy in town that had it. I was told they consider it a "seasonal" item. 

     When we got home, I came inside and just walked through the house leaving behind my shoes, socks, purse and shopping bags. I made my way to my bed and crawled in it. I was so tired from the medicine that I crashed! I was simply exhausted!  I woke up and felt much better, although still somewhat groggy. I am hoping tomorrow will be a much nicer day!

     On a brighter note.............we have a wonderful field trip coming up this week and the kids and I are very excited. We're looking forward to the pumpkins and being out on a farm. I've been told it's really a wonderful farm to tour. I'm hoping we can go and just enjoy the day. No phone ringing, noone banging on our front door................ahhhhh, blessed peace! lol

     Well, the master of the house goeth to sleepeth. I suppose I should be in bed myself. I am hoping tomorrow will be much more pleasant for me. lol  Hopefully, no more hives and a lot more peace.
