The Itch

Some of you have already heard this story, but I will say it again for those who don't know. I had a horrible morning at work when out of the blue my mother texts me, asking if I would like to go get a pedicure that evening. I responded immediately that I would love to go. It was the first time I had gone to an Asian place and I won't go back to this particular establishment. The treatment was a little rough. I have an infection where she cut me. While massaging my legs she was punching me (It looked like this tiny person trying to beat up a giant). It took everything in me not to laugh because the experience was so bizarre. After that, it was fairly relaxing. However, on the ride home from the store, my arms began to itch pretty bad. By the end of the night I was covered in hives and have never itched so bad in my whole life. I took benadryl and went to bed. Austin was a good sport and put some topical ointment on the areas of my back that I could not reach. For the past two days I have been battling outbreaks with these yucky hives and I wish they would just go away. Last night, they were all over my face and neck too. That was a mess. I looked diseased. Anyway, the itching is much less severe today. I don't know what product they used, but I will think carefully before going back.

Not much

Greatest Aunt Barbara is leaving tomorrow, but our last day with her this trip was today. We wish them a safe trip home. While she was knitting yesterday, Austin asked her several times if she would show him how to knit. He'll make some woman proud someday (maybe).

Today non-tenured teachers in Riverview were given notice that they would be let go again this year and may not be called back. One of them has become a friend of mine and seems to be a great teacher. She was also told today that she won "teacher of the year". I guess she has some good news in with her bad. Hopefully, they will call her back as she has a 6 month old baby at home. Good luck, Mrs. Hayes.

In weight loss news - I am not losing (suprise, suprise)

Family

Today was Easter and it was so nice to see some of my family that I dont get to see often. The morning was a bit hectic but all went smoothly after people started visiting. The Easter egg hunt was really cute this year since all of the Ahrens grandkids are old enough to participate. Except that Austin decided he did not want to participate this year. He had a bit of a crabby day (probably because he was up before 5 this morning). Although she was unable to make it for Easter, Austin's greatest aunt Barbara is coming to visit from New York this week and we are all very excited. She rarely makes it down to these parts and we almost never make it there ;) We can't wait.

Yesterday Krista and I went shopping at kohls and old navy. Of course Austin had to tag along and was very good for the most part. Anyway, Krista was in search of some white sunglasses to match her new white car so she tried on a pair (it's difficult to explain what they looked like), Austin looked at her and said "you look just like Daphne from Scooby Doo". Krista took off the glasses and decided on another pair.

On yet another note, I have a cute Paige story. Krista may be mad at me for sharing but it was just too cute for words. This will only make sense if you have seen the movie "Up". Paige was in the middle of a sentence, looked out the window, saw a squirrel and shouted "squirrel" totally forgetting what she was previously talking about. I love her so much, she is just so dang sweet.

Well I'm off to bed to hopefully have sweet dreams.
